Use powerpoint and another application at the same time

[alan_it]

I have a PC with 2 outputs, i need to run a slideshow on 1 screen but do
other work on the other screen without the slideshow stopping.
The only thing i have found is an add-in called powershow which works well
but is expensive as add-ins go. Dose anyone no if microsoft do an add-in, or
is there any way to work round this problem.

Thanks Glen,

But the 2 monitors work fine, my problem is i need the slide show to run on
1 monitor while i work say in outlook on the other monitor.

So i'm trying to do 2 things at once 1 on 1 screen and the other on the 2nd
screen.

As far as running a PowerPoint Presentation and {Insert application} goes,
PowerShow is by far your best option. If you are very good at coding, you
may want start writing your own add-in to mimic this, but you will probably
find out in short order that the price is not extreme for the complex
functionality it offers.

To the best of my knowledge, Microsoft does not offer any solutions that
allow this ability.
