PowerPoint Will Not Loop

[postalwebbie]

Hi there,

Is there a bug in PPT2004 for mac?

I want it to loop but it will not. I have a one slide show that I am
using for a presentation. There are several animations but it just
stops at the end.

And assistance would be appreciated.

thanks,
lm

You can't "loop" one slide: Duplicate the slide so you have at least 2
slides in the presentation & see if that gives you what you want.

"Is there a bug in PPT 2004 for mac?" Is there sand in the desert....

OK. I tried this and had no problem. Are your slides set up to have the
animations happen automatically? Do you have a slide transition on your
slide set to happen automatically? Because this works fine for me in 2004,
perhaps you can describe exactly what you are doing so we can see where you
went wrong.

I had no problem looping one slide. I simply set a couple of shapes to have
entrance animations. I set the slide transition to automatic. And I set the
Slide Show (in Set Up Show) to Lop until Esc.

Hello David:

I'll take your word for it as I didn't actually test as thoroughly as you
apparently have - I was going more from [flawed] logic IIRC, I may have
neglected to apply the transition to the one slide. Perhaps that's why it
didn't work for me. Thanks for the insight.
