Re: How do I use two monitors with Power Point?



PowerPoint is a single instance application, so you can only have one copy of it
running at a time. However, you can open two different presentations from
within the single instance. The trick is to be able to see them side by side.

1. Open PowerPoint and stretch the window width-wise to extend across both
screens.
2. Open both of your presentations.
3. Go to the Windows menu on the toolbar and click on "Arrange All".
4. Now adjust the window size to suit your work style.
