Arrange windows of many PPT files

[Hari Prasadh]

Hi,

Following question is a fallout of using the feature in Excel (and to some
extent in word) a lot.

I want to open 2 different powerpoint presentations side by side in the same
window. So, I did Tools-Options-View - Unchecked Windows in Taskbar.

Now, after having both the presentations in the same window I wanted to
arrange them in different ways to see which would suit best. But in
Powerpoint there is only one sub-option which is "Arrange All" and clicking
on this I get only Vertical alignment. Doesnt PPT offer horizontal, tiled
etc. (Does it make sense to have these in PPT?)

Thanks a lot,

In PP2003 and PP2002 you have the option of Arrange all (tile) or cascade.
What version are you using?

Hi Bill,

I have 2002.

In PowerPoint Within Window, I have options -- Arrange all and Cascade.

In Excel, within Window, I have options -- Arrange...-- and within Arrange
sub-menu I have -- Tiled, horizontal, vertical and Cascade.

In power-point Arrange all seems to produce the effect of Tiled (I
interpreted it as vertical previously).

So, doesnt powerpoint have Horizontal and Vertical Arrangement as in excel?

Thanks a lot,

Hi Steve,

Thnx a lot. Got to learn that there is something called Slide master as
well.

I use the New window feature a lot in Excel (and recently started using it
in word as well). Thnx for telling me in what kind of situation one could
use New window feature in PPT.

Thanks a lot,
