minimize impress presentation on primary screen
Have a doctors office that has an Impress (OpenOffice) presentation that they want to play on a second monitor that is wired into the waiting room. But when the presentation is run (F5), it also runs on the primary monitor, making it very difficult to do any other work on the computer.
How can I minimize the presentation on the primary monitor and have it only playing on the second monitor?
Under the Menu [Slide Show] -> [Slide Show Settings...]
The range is set to "All slides"
Type is set to "Auto 00:00:00"
Options -> "Animations allowed" is checked
Multiple displays -> Presentation display is set to "Display2"

You probably want your computer display to be extended not duplicated to the second monitor. If you extend to the second monitor you will be able to run the application on the second monitor only.

the second monitor is set as extended not duplicated, the problem is that even though the presentation goes to the second display, the program goes to full screen and I can't figure out how to minimize it so the user can work on other things.
