Presenter View and Hyperlinks

[Butch Chappelle]

I have hyperlinks to program files in a high school math class but
they will not work in presenter view, where I can see my notes etc. I
have tried using the second monitor as an extension of the computer
monitor so that the editing view is on my computer and the slide is
viewed on the second monitor. The hyperlink can be executed on the
second monitor but the program opens on the computer monitor and isn't
visible to the class. The only way I can find to view the program is
when both are showing the slide. Is there a way which allows me to
see my notes and the audience to see the program opened by a
hyperlink?

thanks
Butch

Hi,

Look at Display Assistant from
http://officeone.mvps.org/display_assist/display_assist.html - it allows you
to "clone" your application's window on multiple monitors. You would open
the hyperlink from the slide show running on the second monitor and it would
launch the program on the primary monitor. You then need to use Display
Assistant to also show your program on the secondary monitor.

T'would be nice if the link on the presenter's monitor worked, but since it
doesn't, what about simply dragging the new window over to the second
monitor?
