looping multiple presentations continuously

[Guest]

I'm trying to loop through 2 PPT presentations continuously: presentation 1,
then 2, then 1, 2, 1, 2, etc. I've gone through the tutorial at
http://www.awesomebackgrounds.com/powerpointlinking.htm
and have everything working except it stops at the end of each presentation
(the common slide displayed) until I press the space bar. I want it go
without any input from me. What am I missing?

Jerry,

You could try a different route.

Start with presentation 1.
At the end of presentation 1 go to Insert > Slides from files.
Browse to presentaiton 2.
Check Keep Source Formatting.
Insert all > Close
Now you have what appears to be 2 presentations in a single file.
Now create your loop.

Excellent suggestion. I knew there had to be simpler solution. The only
potential problem is if one of the original presentations changes the
combined presentation must be updated as well. But I can live with that.
