I have a presentation with about 50 slides. Is it possible to get PP to
return to first slide automatically, when ther user has been inactive for 3
minutes, thats is having not clicked the mouse og pressed a key on the
keyboard. If he does press enter, arrows or click the mouse, prentation
should advance as usual.

PPT does this return in 5 minutes. You have to put the file into Kiosk mode,
though. Go to Slide Show|Set Up Show, choose Kiosk. This is broken in PPT
2002, though -- that version doesn't reset at all.

Chirag Dalal has created a (free!!) kiosk add-in that gives you much more
control over kiosk settings.

at alle possible to advance the presentation manually in kiosk mode?

Yes, you have to add action settings or hyperlinks for the user to click.

You're right, though -- Kiosk mode return doesn't work in PPT 2003, either.
I swear, I thought I checked that recently and it worked.
