Yep, that's what I thought :-) As long as I (as the speaker) control the computer and switch through the pages, I can stick to the concept and do not have to skip or jump back. In our church I have seen that they use two-screen presentations for example for the songtexts or the preacher. Some guy sits somewhere with a laptop and has a screen with thumbnails, the beamer shows the selected page. Whenever there are sudden decisions (e. g. the band decides to sing part 2 again or the preacher says "would you show that picture again..."), it's just a mouseclick to hit it. As far as I know those guys, they'll know nearly nothing about OpenSource or anything from the Linux world, so their solution will be based on Windows and that means Powerpoint. But I had this hope that at least Adobe Reader under Windows has the capability to support two screens. Rolf
