Default Non Linear Presentations

If you set the setting in slide show set up show to loop continuously until
esc then the custom show will loop. The main show would too but you can add
an end show button at the end. Make sure you tick show and return when
setting up the link to custom shows.

That look like it might work - I do know the order beforehand.

But is there anyway to put in a loop or a goto slide?

so for instance I would use a custom show to play a certain few slides and
at the end of them I would have a slide which would automatically (i.e. no
button) goto the beginning slide again
?

If you know before-hand the slide order in which you want to present, you
can use Custom Shows - In PowerPoint, select "Slide Show" | "Custom
Shows..." menu item.

If you want to select in the slide sorter on which slide should get
presented, look at

Hi,

Is there a way I can make a presentation viewable to the slide order I
choose.

Instead of playing the next slide when the mouse is clicked I would like
it
to jump to a slide of my choosing.

So the presentation would not go slide 1 then 2 then 3 then 4 etc

It would go Slide 1 then slide 5 then slide 6 then slide 3.

Any ideas?
