Is there a way to "freeze" the slide show presentation on a slide to make
changes to another slide or existing slide. I have setup the dual monitor
support using XP Pro and by clicking on another slide we can make changes to
that slide, but if we make changes to the current slide it is seen on the
external screen. Is there a way to "Freeze" the current slide and then
"Un-Freeze" it after the changes have been made
 
All the video projectors I have used have a 'Freeze'
function.

Without dual monitors you can pause the
show by freezing the screen which shows the current slide.
You can then edit or create a new slide, restart the show,
unfreeze the projector image which will show the new
version.

Hi James,

PowerPoint does not have this capability built into it.

Of course, If you (or anyone else reading this message) feel strongly that
some way of preventing slides updating during slide show (while slides are
being edited) should be a presenters feature in PowerPoint, don't forget to
send your feedback to Microsoft at:

http://register.microsoft.com/mswish/suggestion.asp

As with all product suggestions, it's important that you not just state
your wish but also why it is important to you that your product suggestion
be implemented by Microsoft. Microsoft receives thousands of product
suggestions every day and we read each one but, in any given product
development cycle, there are only sufficient resources to address the ones
that are most important to our customers so take the extra time to state
your case as clearly and completely as possible.

IMPORTANT: Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of
suggestions).
