Stop show from pausing?

[Alvin Blewitt via OfficeKB.com]

Hi I have a dual monitor set up, one monitor used for a kiosk presentation,
that just loops around on its own, and the other monitor is used for other
random things.

My problem is that when ever focus from the presentation is moved away from
it (ie when you click on anything that isn't the presentation), the slide
show pauses and you have to click on it or press "Resume Slide Show" to
make it continue.

Is there any I can make it so it will always continusly run??


Many Thanks


Alvin

Set the show itself up as a kiosk presentation. Go to Slide Show/Setup Show
and select kiosk.

Make sure you have provided navigation elements on the slides if necessary,
as Kiosk Mode removes forwarding/going back on mouseclick. If you don't want
manual navigation elements, then you will have to change your transitions
all to automatic and set an appropriate time on them.

Oh, wait. I just realized you said dual monitor. I don't know if that will
affect things here or not.

Yeah I've got it set up as a Kiosk presentation, and set all the slides to
automatic all with the proper timings. It runs totaly fine, and all by
itself until you click on something else!

:/

cheers Alvin.

You'll need the help of a third party add-in because PowerPoint requires "focus"
for your kiosk to continue playing. See Chirag's add-in called PowerShow at

I really doubt it. The price of the software compensates the author for his
highly innovative and expert coding skills.
