Hi,
My friend has two monitors attached to a PC running Windows XP Pro and
Office 2007. Is it possible to run a Powerpoint Slideshow in one monitor and
work on something else in the other monitor. Someone mentioned that it may be
possible to run the slide show in "background".
Is anything like this possible in Office 2003 or 2007????
Thanks very much
hasan

Look at PowerShow at http://officeone.mvps.org/powershow/powershow.html -
among other things, it allows you to run a slide show on one monitor while
you continue to work on something else on another monitor. The following
page explains how to set this up with PowerShow:

In addition to Chirag's PowerShow, if you are running Vista you may find
