I have PowerPoint 2007. I'm using 2 screens, and need to view 2 different
presentations at the same time - one presentation on each screen. I can do
this easily with Word. The reply below just arrange the different
presentations in one window. How do I split the different presentations eah
in its own window?

Jacques, the analogy that you seek here with Word is this: Can you work on
two presentations in two separate windows, and the answer is yes. That is
similar to having two documents in Word open at the same time. But can you
*show* two presentations in two separate windows...now that is a different
story, with an answer that is not nearly so simple.

The only answer that I know of is to keep two separate versions of the
software on your system, as many do today with Versions 2003 and 2007. Run
them both, and configure one of them to do its show thing on Monitor 1 and
the other on Monitor 2.

thought of fooling the OS into treating me as a new user. Very clever...
