Split Screen to run Microsoft PPT in Presentation Mode While Displaying Web Page on other half

I have one large monitor that I want to split screen on, so that I have two applications utilizing the entire screen. On one side, I want powerpoint to be in presentation mode (so that I can run a slideshow), while on the other half of the screen, there is a fully opened web browser to display a webpage (Spreadsheet) for example.

To be clear, I am NOT trying to simply move one program to half of one side of the screen, with the other program on the other half, I can do that fine already by clicking, dragging to the edge, and allowing the auto-size/expand feature to automatically take up half the screen.

What I'm looking for is to be able to run presentation mode in Powerpoint, but I only want the presentation/slides to be displayed on the one half of the screen, and be able to utilize the other half with a web browser so I can present while a spreadsheet is also shown.

Is this possible? If not by built-it settings, is it possible with a third party program?

    I believe I have found somewhat of the answer, while it doesn't do exactly what I'm looking for..

    Navigating to Slide Show ribbon, then selecting Set Up Slide Show allows you to select Browsed by an individual (window).

    This will allow you to be in presentation mode, but there is still a window*.*It would be nice to have a view of full screen without seeing the surrounding boarders of a window, while also being able to only have it take up half or 3/4 of the screen.
