Using Powerpoint and a projector can you project one image on to a projector screen but have another image displayed on the laptop screen so that the presenter can see the next slide in the list.

I don't think that this is possible. Most projectors display what is on the monitor or replace the monitor entirely.

You can't display two different slides. The projector is connected in parallel to the laptop display. The Laptop has a switch to have either lcd display, projection connection or both.
sorry

Not really an answer, more of extra information.

There are laptops out there that do allow you to use dual monitors. I don't know how you set them up, but I do know that you can have a program opened up on one screen, and another on the other. Perhaps you could have the presentation on the projector display, and have the actual slides displayed on the monitor.

I know the Toshiba Stellite Pro's have this feature and I think Dell has it as well. But you probably don't want to go out and spend a couple of grand on a new laptop,(but it is a good excuse)
