Using Dual Monitors in PowerPoint

[jpalmer150]

I'd like to use two separate screens during my presenation. I am familiar with Dual monitor capabilities in Windows and have 2 video cards in my machine. Does anyone know how I can show two different presenations at the same time so that I only need to click once to get both screens to advance?

Or could I have one screen show all odd numbers slides and the other even?

My goal is to have one screen show all graphics and the other show all text (Bullet points)

Problem with powerpoint is that it only projects one page at a time. I don't think there is any presentation program which can display two pages(slides) at once.

You need to run two powerpoint as seperate process but windows nor office will let you do that.

I would do following according my experience. There may be better way to do it.

[ul]
[li]Use two computers and one remote controller for presentation.[/li]
[li]Each computer runs powerpoint with different presentation.[/li]
[li]Each computer accepts the input from same remote controller.[/li]
[li]Therefore, you press only once to advance both presentation.[/li]
[/ul]

One OS to rule them all, One OS to find them,
One OS to bring them all... And in the GPL free them.

That certainly seems like it would work. What are you using as your remove? A wireless Mouse or something else?

How would I configure it to be read by both machines?

To control more than one computer with one keyboard/mouse search on google for kvm

This is the first thing I found.

There's tons more products out there but 'KVM' is the magic keyword.
