You can not show two slides at the same time from within a single
presentation, but you can achieve the effect you want by turning each of the
slides into a graphic.
Here are the steps you should take if you are using PowerPoint XP or better.
1) Copy the presentation (to protect the original)
2) On the two slides that you want to create transparencies of, insert a
large rectangle. Make the rectangles fill color something unique (any color
not used in the visible elements).
3) One step at a time, move it's 'Order' towards the back, until only the
elements that you want to keep are showing. This will, eventually,
eliminate all background pictures/textures/graphics and unwanted stuff from
the transparency you are creating.
4) Use the 'Save as ...' command under the File menu. Select Type as PNG
and save just the one slide.
5) Repeat 2,3 and 4 on the other slide.
6) Delete the colored rectangles you created.
7) Insert a new slide. Insert both of the PNG pictures using appropriate
animations. Personally, I'd recommend something mundane, like fades.
8) Use the transparency tool in the picture toolbar to change the unique
color that you set in the pictures of the slides to transparent.
9) Smile when everyone ooo's and ahh's.
Of course you can also just use a second projector on the same screen, but
where's the fun in that?

Is there a way to combine 2 different slides so that they overlap one
another in a new slide? One slide would contain a column graph and the
other slide would contain a line graph. My boss wants to combine two slides
to show the contrast of information on to one slide. It would look like if
you took two transparencies and laid one on top of the other one. Hope that
doesn't sound too confusing! and maybe it can't even be done.......but,
that's what he wants!! Thanks!
