I have a dual display. When I go into pitch mode, if my PPT is on the right
monitor (secondary) it puts the presentation on the left and lets me edit the
right. How can I switch that - I want to edit on the main. If I start the
slide show on the main, it doesn't put the show on the secondary monitor.
 
Slide Show | Setup Show, specify which monitor to display the presentation
on.

You can also change your primary/secondary monitor in general by
right-clicking your desktop and choosing Properties | Display or Desktop.
You may not want to do that, though, because it will affect everything, not
just PPT.
 
I have tried several times to configure a Slideshow with Monitor #2 as the
slideshow monitor, while keeping the primary as the notes/presenter's
monitor. It won't save for some reason...always bounces back to Primary as
the slideshow monitor.

Help!
