timing a presentation

[Guest]

It is clear that one can automatically advance a kiosk-presentation one slide
ahead after a timed interval. What I want is that from all slides after a
timed interval (when supposedly no one is watching the presentation) the
presentation should start from the beginning, not advancing to the next slide.

Can't do it. PowerPoint doesn't have "eyes" to tell when someone is
watching or not. The slide advances automatically or it doesn't, no
in-betweens I'm afraid. <g>

You could use some VBA code to record the time the last "manual" slide
advance was clicked, then check that time against the current time and if
more than xx minutes, goto slide 1. This could be done in VBA, are you
running the presentation on a computer you control and is it running the
full version or just the viewer?
