Sorry for my inexperience in this field. Can someone please explain to a laywoman how the mentioned workaround can solve my problem ? At most meetings, seminars I partecipated in the speaker turne his/her back to the big wall screen (projected image) as he/she has to look at the audience he/she addresses. To spare the speaker from stretching his/her neck, the speaker can see the same slide, which is being projected on the wall, on the monitor of the computer whose keyboard or mouse he/she uses to select the next slide. According to my little experience, laptops running Windows allow for the slide to be seen by the audience facing the wall and by the speaker facing the laptop monitor, at the same time. I am a Linux fan. Nevertheless for PowerPoint presentations I believe a plain Windows box is the right choice... Thank you for your patience. Maura On Fri, 27 Jan 2006, Gil Weber wrote:

Now, if you know of a way to minimize Impress from slide show mode so that it can immediately be restored back to slide show mode after playing a video in a media player, PLEASE post that to this list. It would be VERY helpful.
Thanks! :o) Gil
I've not tried it, but how about having impress running in slideshow mode on desktop 1, and whatever video player on desktop 2? Use Ctrl+F1 / Ctrl+F2 to switch between them (in KDE at least).
Doesn't minimize impress, but effect is the same as far as I can see.

Thanks, Don. That works! I really appreciate this simple work-around. :o) Gil
