Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 6909
Dual monitor presentations not supported
Last modified: 2006-01-11 18:04:14 UTC
Microsoft PowerPoint supports some dual display configurations, allowing the main presentation to appear on the second display (typically connected to a projection system), in full-screen mode. I have not seen any comparable feature in Impress; it only seems possible to display in a window and then move the window. If you wish to do better than PowerPoint, it would be nice to be able to specify the actual virtual window position for "full screen" display. Reason: some dual displays are configured as a single window (e.g. 2048x768 pixels) - Powerpoint insists on displaying in the centre, across the display split - not very friendly! Also some projectors work better with some positional tweaking, so the ability to move the start position would be useful.
Set to new.
Reassigned to Falko.

I have a Mobility Radeon 9700 with the newest driver from ATI (WinXP SP2). I use OO1.1.3 Hungarian version. Presentations only can shown on the "1" display on fullscreen (I use 1400x1050) and a projector (1024x768). I had to export the presentation to pdf, and it can play it correctly on the "2" display!!! I only miss the hyperlinks from the pdf export :-( and the cool drawing tool... This feature is essential in a presentation software!!!
