The good news is that openoffice costs the same for 12 licences as one: Nothing. You're free to download it and distribute it to as many users as you can.
I'm running win2k on three monitors here and I can have Impress running on monitor two with the presentation showing on monitor one. As far as I can tell, there's no way to control which monitor is used for the presentation. It seems to default to the primary monitor. I know it's possible to set which of your two video cards is primary, so it may work just fine for you. The nice thing is that it won't cost you anything to try.

G'day, our church has a projector / pc with 2 video cards - we tried powerpoint 97 using windows 2000 in dual monitor mode but found it terrible as the gui kept jumping up on the wall. so we tried powerpoint 2003 which has real 2 monitor mode or "presenter mode" which works really nicely but costs too much to register multiple copies. we are a small congregation and have perhaps 10 people who take it in turns to prepare the presentations and prefer to do so in their own homes, but ms want $115.50 australian to register each licence plus the software itself. We are now looking at Open Office - Your help files mention dual monitors but I think this is the same windows 2000 based dual monitor mode which is set up in screen properties, we already rejected. can you help? if it works, we would love to register for multiple copies. regards Keith Green, Port Augusta South Australia
