MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / July 2008On Screen Display problems for multiple PP
I have a dual monitor and even if I didn't I have a 20 screen and I would like to bring up two different PP presentations to view side by side. When I open the first, and then try and open a second, it overwrites the first. I can only view one at a time. So I tried Arrange all, split, etc. and I could get the two up side by side, but then I am working with smaller field of view. I am trying to match stuff up and shuffle things back and forth between two or three PP. I would like to be able to view two full PP side by side. I do this all the time with Publisher and Word - and used to be able to do it with PP. Using XP and PP 2007. If you open your presentations then click on View, Arrange All, then click on slide sorter view, you can move stuff back and forth as much as you want.

I do this all the time with Publisher and Word - and used to be able to do it with PP. Using XP and PP 2007. I can do that. In the confines of one PP program running. On my screen, I can see two distinct windows each different PP taking up one half of the display. I can't slide one of them over to my dual screen so I can see two full versions. When I run Publisher for example, or Word, I can reopen, completely, the entire program a second time. In other words, I can't run two PP programs at once? Nor with the Arrange all, can I move one presentation to my second screen.

No, but you can enlarge the one instance of PPT to fill the dual screen. Not EXACTLY the same as having two instances of PPT, but the slides you're looking at will be approx the same size. > When I run Publisher for example, or Word, I can reopen, > completely, the entire program a second time.

I used to be able to do that with PP 2003 Probably as described above. You've never been able to run two instances of PPT at once in any version I'm aware of, other than by using John Wilson's trick of running as two different users. > > If you open your presentations then click on View, Arrange All, then click on slide sorter view, you can move stuff back and forth as much as you want. > > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > side.
