The hardware setup includes a primary
monitor and a secondary monitor connected to the computer. With
PowerShow, you can span a slide show across 2
monitors.
The following configuration steps show how to configure PowerShow to do that:
Open the presentation (say, Pres.ppt) in Microsoft PowerPoint.
Select Slide Show tab, clear the Use Presenter View box.
Select Slide Show | Power Show item.
On the Presentations tab, select your Pres.ppt <Slide Show> in the first row and
2 monitors.
Click Start Show button.
Notes:
Slide Shows that span multiple monitors need to be
designed for such setups. For spanning slide show across 2 monitors,
ensure that the slides have appropriate aspect ratio (Width :
Height). If the monitor has an aspect ratio of 4:3, then for 2
monitors, the aspect ratio will be 8:3.
Configure the slide aspect ratio through the Design
tab, Page Setup button. For 2 monitors each with 4:3 aspect
ratio, select On-screen Show (4:3) in the Slides sized for
box and then double preset width in the Width box to change the
slide dimension to match your 2 monitor setup.
Note that these slide dimension changes need to be made
before including content on the slides.
