Two copies of PowerPoint

[Joseph M. Newcomer]

I have a dual-monitor system. I want to put one presentation up on the right monitor, and
the one I'm creating (from selected slides of the other presentation) on the left monitor.
PowerPoint does not seem to allow me to have PowerPoint windows displayed on two monitors,
nor does it seem to allow me to start a second copy of it.

Note that this is not the same as having a presentation running with the "presenter view".
I want two complete PowerPoint editing windows, each on a different monitor.

Hi Joseph

If you stretch your powerpoint window over the two monitors, open the 2
presentations then use window -> arrange all you can kind of fake it.
Particularly if you only want to work on the one on the left hand side as
that's where all the menus/toolbars tend to end up....
