Looping slides

Hi guys, I've created a presentaion by linking a couple of shows together but I would like the last 3 slides to loop continuasly, I can make them go to the next automatically but after the last one I would like the 3 to loop again. Any ideas?

Try making te 3 slides a custom show and in slide show set up show choose "Loop until esc"

You will need to create a link to the custom show

Dexter, I know the challenge you face. John's solution is the simplest one, however it requires that you click on a slide element with your mouse in order to begin the custom show. If you want it to naturally flow into your ending loop, without clicking on anything, you need to use an inserted object:

1. Create the three slides that are to loop as a separate deck, making
sure to set Loop Continuously in Slide Show Setup.

2. Back in the original deck, go to the place where you want the loop to begin.

3. Use Insert Object to link or embed (your choice) the looping deck.

4. Using the Animation task pane, place that object in the animation stream, so that it begins when you advance.


Does that make sense?
