Looping slides
(PowerPoint 2000)
I have a presentation containing 30 slides. I want to initially run from slide 1 to 30 but then after reaching slide 30 I want the presentation to return to slide 15 and then run on a continuous loop between slides 15 to 30. Is this possible? |

Not only possible, it's pretty easy.
Step 1. -- Hide slides 1 thru 14 Change to the slide sorter view and select slide 1 thru 14. Either, right click and select "Hide slide", or select from the pulldown menus lideShow - Hide Slide. Step 2. -- Set the presentation to loop In the same pulldown menu, select Set-Up Show and check the box in the resulting dialog for 'Loop continuously until Esc' Step 3. -- Start the show from slide 1 Select slide 1 and click on the small icon in the lower left section of the window that looks like a screen (well sort of anyway). This will start you from the current slide. If you had PowerPoint 2003, you could use the keyboard shortcut of Shift+F5 instead of the clicking the little icon. Results: You will start the show on slide 1, progress to 2, 3, 4 etc. (PowerPoint allows for runs of hidden slides). This will progress normally, from one slide to the next until you reach slide 30, after which your presentation will loop back to the first non-hidden slide (15). -- Bill Dilworth Microsoft PPT MVP Team Users helping fellow users. =============== Please spend a few minutes checking vestprog2@ out www.pptfaq.com This link will yahoo. answer most of your questions, before com you think to ask them.

Hi Bill... thanks for your help however, I can't see any icon to the bottom
left of the slide and when running the show, it starts from slide 15. Any ideas?? Many thanks "Bill Dilworth" wrote in message ... Not only possible, it's pretty easy.

It's in the lower left corner of the PowerPoint window under the slide
outline. There are several icons and as you run your mouse over them, the words "slide show" should pop up. You'll have to click on the icon because the hidden slides won't show any other way. If you're going to use music in your looped slides, you may want to consider using a custom show instead of the hidden slides method. See: http://www.indezine.com/notes/2004/0...or-looped.html You'll also need to add Advance Automatically After X seconds to the slide transitions of slides 15 -30 and under Set Up Show, make sure the Advance Slides using timings, if present is selected.
