Does anyone know how to make the viewer display a show
which has been set up in Office XP to display on the
second monitor?
I have set it up in PPXP, to run on monitor 2. This works
in PP. But when I play the file with PP viewer, it
displays on the primary monitor.
I want it to display on the second monitor.
 
The viewer will show on the primary monitor. This is by design and can not
(as far as I know) be changed.

Check here for ways to de-activate your dual monitor, so that the display
can be on your projector.

Hello,

Even in the latest version of PowerPoint (2003), the PowerPoint Viewer
always displays on the

Primary display of a multiple monitor enabled system. As indicated in
previous posts, to get the

slide show to appear on another display you will need to either turn off
multiple monitor support

(so slide show appears on all displays) or you will have to use PowerPoint
instead of the PowerPoint

Viewer.

If multiple monitor awareness in the PowerPoint Viewer is important to you,
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.
