Restart slide show on inactivity

[Gary C.]

I have a kiosk type show using PP2007 that uses hyperlinks on objects to
navigate from page to page. I would like to know if there is a way to
automatically restart after a period of inactivity. I tried to add timing to
each slide to have it slowly walk through the balance of the presenation but
the timings only seem to work once, not if you navigate back to a slide from
a later slide.

Hi Gary


If you are OK with an Add In (It needs to be installed on the PC in use)
then this will solve your problem
http://officeone.mvps.org/kioskassist/kioskassist.html

If you are not able to use Add Ins you could try adding a 99% transparent
shape on top of each slide (full slide size)
Give it a mouseover action of Hyperlink to slide 1 and a delayed animation
of wipe in.

When the shape appears it should trigger the link. You can copy paste the
shape on to other slides.

I should also have said that if you use an animation method you will need to
add a blank or duplicate slide before each slide with an auto transition of
zero seconds. This will reset the animation. Once you have created one such
slide you can copy and paste.
