Is there a way to display multiple power point documents in separate power point windows?

Question

In Microsoft PowerPoint 2007, when opening multiple .pptx/.ppt documents simultaneously, the documents are opened in the same physical PowerPoint window.

I was wondering if anyone was aware of a way to separate these documents into separate physical windows.

I am aware that you can arrange and cascade separate documents within the same PowerPoint window, but I find that method a bit awkward and frustrating (especially when juggling more than two documents simultaneously).

Answer 1

Normally, no, you cannot run multiple instances of Powerpoint. But there are workarounds:

Answer 2

This feature is now supported in PowerPoint 2010. (Currently in beta)
