Is there a way in a continuous loop presentation to omit the title slide
after the first loop?
 
You can do this with a custom show. In the Slide Show menu, choose
Custom Shows. Add all slides but the first to the Custom Show. Now
create a button on the first slide and set the Action Settings on the
button to link to the Custom Show. You will have to press the button on
the first slide, but after that, you can have any timings you want on
the other slides, and if you set the presentation to loop continuously
until Esc (under Set Up Show in the Slide Show menu), you should get
just what you want. I don't feel like I explained that very well, so if
it is not clear to you, let us know and someone will explain it better
(perhaps me after I eat lunch). --David

I always tell my students that there are usually several ways to
accomplish the same thing in any computer application. I try not to tell
them that one way is better than another, but your way is clearly better
than mine.

update as soon as possible. From PowerPoint, choose "Help -> Check for

[TOP ISSUE - Are you having difficulty opening presentations in PowerPoint
that you just created (you can save, but not open)? -

Hello,

If none of the suggestions provided give you the functionality that you
were looking for or, if you (or anyone else reading this message) have
suggestions for how and why you think PowerPoint should provide this
functionality (or make it easier), don't forget to send your feedback (in
YOUR OWN WORDS, please) to Microsoft at:

http://register.microsoft.com/mswish/suggestion.asp

It's VERY important that, for EACH wish, you describe in detail, WHY it is
important TO YOU that your product suggestion be implemented. A good wish
submssion includes WHAT scenario, work-flow, or end-result is blocked by
not having a specific feature, HOW MUCH time and effort ($$$) is spent
working around a specific limitation of the current product, etc. Remember
that Microsoft receives THOUSANDS of product suggestions every day and we
read each one but, in any given product development cycle, there are ONLY
sufficient resources to address the ones that are MOST IMPORTANT to our
customers so take the extra time to state your case as CLEARLY and
COMPLETELY as possible so that we can FEEL YOUR PAIN.

IMPORTANT: Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of
suggestions).
