Hi Sean

Probably the easiest thing to do is copy the 1st slide and put it at the
end. Alternatively, use 1 then enter (or enter then enter) to return to your
first slide at any point.

An additional option is to use a custom show. You can have the first
slide at the beginning and end of the slide show and use Set Up Show to
have it run the custom show only. The advantage of this is that if you
change the first slide, it will automatically change it at the beginning
and the end.

There are lots of methods, each with their own advantages. One of the
methods that re-uses the same slide is better if the slide is going to
be changed a lot. Copy and pasting to the end is the height of
simplicity as long as you don't need to make a lot of changes. Doing
that will take about 15 seconds whereas setting up a custom show will
take several minutes to set up. Pick whatever works best for your
particular situation.
