I am going to be doing a slideshow for my wedding using both powerpoint and moviemaker. I need to know how to switch back and forth from one program to another with the switches being seen only on the laptop and not on the screen for the guests to see. I have heard that there is a way to do this using powerpoint, but need to know how to switch from one program to another. Are there certain keys I use, or will this not work at all? Thanks for any help.
Alt-tab is the keyboard shortcut for switching between programs in windows.That will still show up on either display, though. There is a way, when two displays are hooked up, to display a power point presentation on one display and use the other for configuration. The only problem is that you'll still have to switch to movie maker, which may or may not support this feature (i'd imagine not).
Your best bet may be to actually export your movie maker video to a file then insert it into your power point:

Good luck!
