1. Creating a TickerShow Layout presentation:
   
   A TickerShow Layout presentation is the presentation that contains the layout of the slide shows for a single monitor. This presentation should contain a single slide having the Blank slide layout:
   1. Create a new presentation with a Blank slide design.
   2. Set the first slide's layout to Blank:
      
       
   3. Create two Rectangle shapes on the slide.
   4. Assuming that your main presentation is named Main.ppt and the bottom ticker presentation is named Ticker.ppt, insert text Main in the top Rectangle and Ticker in the bottom Rectangle strip.
      
      
       
   5. Save this TickerShow Layout presentation (lets say we give it the name Layout.ppt).
      
       
2. Open Main.ppt, Ticker.ppt and Layout.ppt in PowerPoint.
3. Select Slide Show | Ticker Show item.
4. Select the monitor on which you want to run the two presentations.
5. Select Layout.ppt in TickerShow Layout Presentation box.
   
   
    
6. Click Start Show button.

This will start Main.ppt and Ticker.ppt on the same monitor.
