Would like to have separate power point presentations
display in separate windows. How to configure?

Thank you
 
Sorry, no can do. PowerPoint allows only one instance of a running
presentation.

Hello,

If you want PowerPoint to be a "Multiple Instance" application, Microsoft
would like to understand why you think that PowerPoint should be a multiple
instance application (instead of single-instance, multiple document
application). What problem would that solve for you?

PowerPoint does not currently have the capability that you are looking for.
PowerPoint is a single instance, multiple-document application.

However, perhaps you simply want to be able to Alt+Tab between open
presentation windows. If so, then all you have to do (in PowerPoint 2000
and later) is to turn on the "Windows in taskbar" setting in the "View" tab
of the Tools -> Options dialog.

If you (or anyone else reading this message) have some reasons why you
think that PowerPoint should be a multiple instance application, don't
forget to send your feedback to Microsoft at:

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)
