Two presentations, two separate displays

How do I compare or edit two different presentations on two separate
displays/monitors in Powerpoint 2007? I have a multiple flat-panel monitor
setup. The "side-by-side" view on one display in one running version of
Powerpoint isn't satisfactory.

In the 2003 version, you'd simply run two instances of Powerpoint and you
could easily view each on its own display. I cannot seem to figure out how to
do this in 2007, though I'm sure it must be easy. Can't find it in Help,
either.

Thank you and Happy New Year!

Easiest way I have found:

Open PPT 2007 and then drag or maximize across both monitors. Once it has
been done open the two files within PPT. Click View tab on ribbon and then
Arrange All. The currently selected file will appear on the left monitor
and the non-current one will appear on the right monitor. You may have to
tweak the size some especially if the two monitors are not the same size or
resolution.

Hope this helps, let us know.
 
Thanks!
