The following tutorial guides you through the
steps involved in configuring a PowerShow session to run multiple PowerPoint
shows simultaneously on different monitors.
Some things to remember:
A PowerShow session consists of PowerPoint presentations and the display monitors.
PowerShow starts setting up the shows from the first monitor.
A PowerShow session can skip some monitors along the way in setting up shows if you wish to not use those monitors.
You can configure a show to span multiple consecutive monitors.
You can also configure presentation notes to span multiple consecutive monitors.
We start a PowerShow session by opening the
presentations that should participate in the session. After open the
presentations, select Slide Show | Power Show... menu item
to launch the PowerShow Session Settings dialog box.
The settings dialog box:
Shows the number of monitors that PowerShow thinks are present in the system.
Allows you to select presentation slide show and the number of monitors that the selected show should span across.
Allows you to select presentation notes and the number of monitors that the notes view should span across. Notes formatting is retained.
Allows you to select the number of monitors that should be skipped.
Allows you to save the selected options into PowerShow Session Settings (PSS) file.
Keeping these things in mind, we look at some sample sessions. Check them out:
