Impress Multiple Display Support
This is the current status of the implementation of Impress simple multiple display specification for issue 12719.
For Developers Only
There is a patch available on the bug which will enable using a different monitor on Windows inside vcl. If somebody desperately needs this functionality, they could possibly start from there and produce a build that has no user interface to control the output, but always shows the presentation on the secondary display. Note that no such build currently exists...
There are some stabs at patches for a UI, but that needs more specification work.
For Users
There is no end-user functionality available for this feature yet
Workarounds
Someone have reported being able to do this with Microsoft's PowerPoint Viewer (by saving as .PPT files).
There are some workarounds on the bug mentioned above on Linux that enable you to cunningly reposition the presentation on the secondary display.
