Using dual monitors on powerpoint

[Simran94]

Hello, for my art project I need to make a powerpoint slide of different
colours to aid my art piece. I was wondering if there was any way to
incorporate both of my screens, as I have two connected to my PC, and show
the simple colous over both screens. Help would be much appreciated, thank
you.

If they are static presentations (that is, there is no animation,
transitions, etc.) and only 1 slide, you can perhaps try the following:
1. Ensure that both your monitors are connected to your PC and are enabled
for display.
2. Open one of your presentations in PowerPoint.
3. Click "Slide Show" | "Set Up Show" item.
4. Select "Monitor 2" in "Display slide show on" box in "Multiple monitors"
section.
5. Click OK.
6. Start the slide show by pressing F5 key.
7. Open your other presentation.
8. Click "Slide Show" | "Set Up Show" item.
9. Select "Primary Monitor" in "Display slide show on" box in "Multiple
monitors" section.
10. Click OK.
11. Start the second slide show by pressing F5 key.

You should see both your slide shows - one on each monitor. If your slide
shows have animations and transitions that you want to play simultaneously
on both monitors, you would need to use PowerShow -
