Is it possible to loop the first slide of a presentation? I know I can
insert a Flash movie, or create a video but I would like to do it all in
PowerPoint. I am using 2002.

Thanks - Larry
 
I'm a little unclear about your request, but ...

If you want a continuously looping presentation, then click on Slide Show |
Set-up Show ... | and check the box next to Loop Continuously Until Esc

Does this answer the question?

All I want to do is loop a single slide for when people come into the room.
I have tried repeating an animation on the different parts of the slide but
they don't stay in sync.

Hello,

PowerPoint doesn't provide the functionality that you are looking for
(specify a looping subset of slides within a larger slide show).

If you (or anyone else reading this message) think that it's important that
PowerPoint provide this kind of functionality, don't forget to send your
feedback (in YOUR OWN WORDS, please) to Microsoft at:

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

As with all product suggestions, it's important that you not just state
your wish but also WHY it is important to you that your product suggestion
be implemented by Microsoft. 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.

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

Then add a beginning slide to the looping one. Set this added slide to auto
advance in 00:00 seconds and use the loop presentation suggestion I
mentioned before.

Using this method, the slide will 'refresh' on each pass and the animations
should stay in sync. The reason this works is that PowerPoint resets the
animations to their starting positions whenever a slide is advanced into.
The 00:00 transition advances into the real slide. After the animation, the
presentation loops back to slide 1, which returns to your animation slide
immediately.

Larry, I think this will help. You can use the simple custom show method
Kathy Huntzinger and I worked out many moons ago, or you can use TAJ's
much more elegant way. Both are discussed in the last paragraph at
