I need to a presentation to not only run n run n run, but preferably with som
time between. That is: I don't want the presentation to play continuously, I
really would like to decide myself exactly how long a pause there should be.
I'm sure this is possible. Question is - how?

Hi,

I'd set it up to run automatically with a blank slide set for the delay you
want. Else, you will need to schedule it via the Windows Scheduler.

I never really liked it, so good luck with it.

Perfect - just what I hoped to find; an EasyToUse/EasyToContruct solution.

As I only need this presentation, this sole presentation, to play for at
limited time, I certainly won¨t bother to use änything more than what's
needed to work.

Keep It Simple

Thnx

Vincent

PS While I'm at it; any suggestions on how to set up the presentation to run
automatically? I reallly thought I knew this, but as it shows - I don't,
least not yet...
 
Hi,

If you wanted to be devious, you could make the dummy slide look like a
Windows Desktop! No-one will know the slideshow is not running!!! As for
running it:

Slideshow menu item.
Set up show.
Loop continuously until Escape.
Use timings, if present (which you must have).
Also Browsed at a kiosk (full screen).
Then you may need to disable the keyboard:
