Hi,

I have a presentation with a timeout of 10 seconds between each slide, I
would like to know how to restarting (loop) the presentation automatically
from the second slide. Of course it is easy from the first, but the second ?
My problem is how to control a manual start from the firs slide and then to
loop automatically the others...
Thans for your help

Hide the first slide.

I use this method every week. The first slide of the presentation is a
black hidden slide with an auto-time advance of 10 minutes. The rest of the
presentation is timed animations and advances. I have set the presentation
to 'Loop until escape in the Slide Show setup screen.

When I open the presentation, I view slide one and start on that slide.
Then, I manually advance the show into slide 2 by pressing the spacebar (or
whatever). The show will then loop (end slide loops to slide 2).

When I am done, I manually advance to slide 1 and end the presentation.

If this isn't clear, or I can expand on any points for you, please post
back.

Hello,
Thank you very much for your answer, I have tried your solution. I have
still a problem : I have created a hidden slide (first slide) and set the
presentation to loop. When lunching the presentation, it start from slide 2
(not 1), so I cannot synchronize manually the presentation. I found the
following temporary solution : first I start the presentation, and I click
on the screen to define a new start, and I select the first slide. It works
but it is not a very nice solution... May be I did not understand what you
call a "black" hidden slide (I have PowerPoint 2000)
Thanks for your help,
AR
 
There are three ways to start this presentation on slide 1

1) Opening PowerPoint, selecting slide 1 then clicking on the start
slideshow from current location. This is a the small icon that looks like a
projector screen in the lower left quadrant of normal view.

2) Link to the file from a running show, but modify the link. Add " #1" to
the end of the link and the show will begin on slide #1.

3) A variation of method 2 is to create a one-slide starter show that links
to slide 1 of the looping presentation.

Hello,

It sounds that, although there are workarounds, you would like this to be a
lot easier to do in PowerPoint.

If you (or anyone else reading this message) think that it's important that
