run in background

As I can run continually a pps advertising file in background on a third
screen while another program run on the other 2 screens?

Yes, you can run a PowerPoint slide show on the third screen while other
programs are running on other screens. Look at PowerShow add-in at
http://officeone.mvps.org/powershow/powershow.html - it enables you to do
that.

Hello,

PowerPoint does not have the built-in capability to allow a full-screen
slide show to continue to advance automatically when the show is not the
foreground application (does not have focus), so you would have to resort
to writing your own solution or using a 3rd party add-in.

If you (or anyone else reading this message) feel strongly that PowerPoint
should include an option which allows full-screen slide shows to continue
running when they lose focus (without requiring an add-in or additional
software), don't forget to send your feedback (in YOUR OWN WORDS, please)
to Microsoft at:

As with all product suggestions, it's important that you not just state
your wish but also WHY it is important to you that your product suggestion
be implemented by Microsoft. Microsoft receives thousands of product
suggestions every day and we read each one but, in any given product
development cycle, there are only sufficient resources to address the ones
that are most important to our customers so take the extra time to state
your case as clearly and completely as possible.

IMPORTANT: Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of
suggestions).
