Opening two different powerpoints - separate windows

[Chuck]

I have dual monitors and have been working to copy slides from some of my
presentations to a new presentation. Thing is, I have a dual monitor set up
and I can not open up Powerpoint twice - one for each window, so I can keep
my new powerpoint viasble on one screen and then drag and drop new slides
from my other powerpoint on the other screen. It only allows me one instance
of Powerpoint and the active powerpoint is always on top. If I could open
three instances - that would be better still.

You don't need two instances to drag and drop just two windows. Drag the app
window to cover both screens and use Windows > Arrange All

If you really do need two instances and are brave!

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll give that a try but I also have other
applications open in the other window that I switch between. I'll look at the
link you provided.
Thank you again.

I see how to do that. It's an unfortunate workaround. Excel at least let's
me open up two instances without having to do the funky workaround. Thanks
again, anyone else have an idea?
