Splitting large presentations

[Guest]

2 questions:
- I have a very large presentation (over 40 MB) that is set up to run
automatically. Is there any way to split it into 2 or more presentations
that can automatically move from one to the other and loop back?
- Is there any way to move from slide to slide automatically at the end of
an automation without inserting an exact time for the transition?
I'm using PowerPoint 2002.
Thanks for your help.

Yes you can but I really see no reason to. 40 MB isn't really all that big
for a pressie.

- Is there any way to move from slide to slide automatically at the end of
an automation without inserting an exact time for the transition?

One of my favorite tricks is to set the transition time to LESS than the
total time needed for the slide. Doing this will force the transition to
happen after the last animation. If I need a "buffer" time I create a
object (box) set it to transparent with no line and have it "appear" as the
last animation and set the timing as I desire.

Thanks for your advice.
I still need to know how to split the presentation becasue it has to be
moved somewhere else over the internet - either by email or by uploading and
downloading and not everyone has a fast connection.
