presentation on 2nd display

[Ni©]

Hi all,

I would like to be able to run a pps file on a second display and still be
able to work on the first.
Everything works fine untill the ?focus? is changed to the first display,
then the presentation stops.

In the 'Set Up Show' box under 'Show options' the 'Loop continiously until
Esc' is checed and under 'Advance slides' I have checked 'Using timings if
present' and of course the second display is selected.
The slide transition method is set up to advance automatically after a few
seconds so this is ok too.

Does anyone know if it is possible to run a presentation automatically on
the second display and still use the first display?
Thanks a lot in advance!

Nico

Yes, it is possible to run a slide show on one monitor and still use the
other monitor. You will have to use an add-in like PowerShow
(http://officeone.mvps.org/powershow/powershow.html) to allow you to do that
with PowerPoint.

Hi Chirag, thanks a lot for your information.
Because I didn't want to use an extra application I continued my search and
found another solution:
1) convert to htm files
2) run internet explorer in kiosk mode, started on the 2nd display
3) use the first file as the startpage and refresh automatically to the next
page
