This article was previously published under Q187759



SYMPTOMS
If you run a PowerPoint 98 Macintosh Edition slide show on a computer that has more than one monitor attached to it, Meeting Minder always appears on the first screen.

For example, if you run a slide show on a PowerBook 5300c with an external monitor attached to it, you can set up your slide show so it appears on the external monitor. When you start Meeting Minder, however, it appears on the built-in monitor.



RESOLUTION
You may want to run Meeting Minder on a different screen from the slide show. This way, you can type in meeting minutes without covering up part of your slides. However, if you want Meeting Minder to appear on the same screen (monitor) as the slides, you can drag it there.



STATUS
This feature is under review and will be considered for inclusion in a future release.



MORE INFORMATION
To display Meeting Minder during a slide show, follow these steps:
 * 1) Hold down CONTROL and click a slide, or click the Slide Show button in the lower-left corner of a slide.
 * 2) On the menu that appears, click Meeting Minder.

To choose which display a slide show will use, follow these steps:
 * 1) Before running the slide show, on the Slide Show menu, click Set Up Show.
 * 2) Click the Screen button. NOTE: This button only appears if you have more than one display attached to your computer.
 * 3) Click the icon that represents the display you want to use.
 * 4) Click OK, and then click OK again.
