I am so frustrated with this program. I am running on a dual monitor environment which is great because I can open multiple windows and move information from document to document. BUT NOT IN POWERPOINT. Why doesn't this program allow you to run multiple presentations simultaneously? I want to use my dual monitors to show two presentations in a trade show setting. No doing. Am I missing something?
 
PowerPoint is a single-instance program. You can't run it twice on the same
machine. You aren't missing anything, it just doesn't work. :-(

However, being a trade-show type-person myself...can you get two different
versions of PowerPoint loaded onto the machine? With that, you can do two
presentations simultaneously.

Best bet is two oldy-moldy laptops, though. Hide them under the table or
something like that. One per monitor. BTDT, had the $8 chicken sandwich for
lunch. ;-)

Look at PowerShow add-in at
http://officeone.mvps.org/powershow/powershow.html - it enables you to run
multiple slide shows simultaneously on multi-monitor configurations.
