looping first slide

[Guest]

Hi
Using Powerpoint XP
What I need to do is have a kiosk show where first slide loops thru
animations of picrures until a user clicks start button to commencew click
thru tour. I use Kiosk assistant (thanks Chirag!) to go back to slide 1 if
show is inactive,.
Can someone tell me how I can have the first slide loop continuosly that is
triggered automatically. At the moment it needs a click to start it -plays
animation and then stops.
Thanks

To have the animations played automatically, set the Start "On click" to
"After previous".

To loop the first slide, you can use custom show to achieve this.
First, go to first slide.
Click slide show > slide transition.
Under advance slide, put a checkmark on "automatically after".
Click Slide Show > Set up show.
Put a checkmark on "Loop continuously until esc".
Now, click Slide Show > Custom Show.
Click New.
Add all slides into the custom show except for the 1st slide.
Click ok once you are done.
On the first slide, add an action button that hyperlinks to the custom show.
Put a checkmark on show and return so that it will go back to the first
slide when you press esc key.
