How would I get several presentations to run sequentially?

[Zehdreh]

I will be at a convention where I would like to run several PowerPoint
presentations on a lap top. Ideally they would run sequentially and loop
without me having to pay them any attention. I would like to keep the
presentations separate so that they can be mix and matched for future events.
Can PowerPoint do this and, if so, how do I set it up?

Just set the "main/master" presentation "loop until Esc"
To do that...
slideshow menu > setup slideshow > tick "loop until Esc"

Also you need to set each slide to 'advance automatically after x seconds' -
otherwise your presentation will wait for a mouse/keyboard press

That should do the trick

You can use a conversion tool to help you solve this.
Convert all your powerpoint presentations to dvd first, then set the
default transition time between slides in the TIMING area.
You can also choose to play your powerpoint presentation automatically
or manually.
Acoolsoft PPT2DVD is a creative and professional PowerPoint to DVD
conversion tool which empowers you to easily burn PowerPoint to DVD
with transitions, animations, sounds and movies retained.
