How do I show multiple slide shows vertically?
I would like to show 2 presentations on 4
monitors. Each monitor has a resolution of 1600 x 1200. Each slide show should
span vertically: the slide shows would be 1600 pixels wide by 2400 pixels tall.
How do I achieve this configuration through
PowerShow.
The following configuration steps will enable you to set this environment:
- In Windows, open Display Properties: Either
- Right-click on your desktop and select Properties, or
- Select Start | Control Panel menu item, and launch
Display applet.
- Select Settings tab.
- Arrange the 4 monitors in the following order:

- Click OK.
- Launch PowerPoint. Open both your presentations (say, Presentation1.ppt
and Presentation2.ppt).
- Select Slide Show | Power Show... menu item.
- Select Presentation1.ppt <Slide Show> across 2 monitors in
first row.
- Select Presentation2.ppt <Slide Show> across 2 monitors in
second row.
- Click Start Show button.
These configuration steps enable you to display
Presentation1.ppt vertically on monitor 1 and 2 and Presentation2.ppt on monitor
3 and 4. The key point to note is that the monitors are configured as vertical
in Windows.
