Scrolling Slide show in 2007?

[Gordon]

Is there the equivalent of Scrolling Slideshow (PPt 2003) in 2007, and if so
where do I find it?

You might want to explain what you mean by "scrolling slideshow"

Maybe a show that runs automatically and loops??

Yep that's it (Apparently PP2003 uses the term "scrolling slideshow)
Apparently what you can do in PP 2003 is to run a slideshow manually, then
click on a button so at the end, it then turns into running automatically in
a loop. (My wife is an expert in 2003 but I have 2007 and she couldn't find
this option yesterday when she was doing the slideshow for my presentation
using 2007)

I've never heard of such a feature in 2003 Gordon.

Sorry, she's not using the correct terminology. If in 2003 you do
SlideShow-Slide Transition there's a box to set the global time between
slides when on automatic. That doesn't appear to have been taken forward in
2007 - the nearest I can see is "rehearse timings" which means you have to
go through the WHOLE slide show rather than setting a global setting. Seems
a retrograde step and a PITA if you have a large presentation...

Try:
Animations tab
To the right > Advance Slide After xx secs
Apply to all

Can't seem to get that to work. If I tick the "Use timings if present under
"Advance slides" in the Slideshow setup box it uses the Rehearsal times not
the slide advance time in the animation tab. If I don't tick that box then
the slide show just doesn't advance to the next slide. There must be
something simple that's missing here...

Do you have music in the file, by any chance?

No.

Use rehearsed timing should be ticked (yep makes no sense to me either)
Rehearsed timings can do strange things.
Try setting the timing to zero > apply to all and then to the value you need

apply to all.
