It goes from 29...skips 30 and then goes to 31...it is driving me nuts. I have to do this presentation next Wed for about a 100 people and I could use some quick help if possible.

Ross,
Check to see if slide is "hidden." RIght click it in slide sorter and look towards the bottom of list, maybe third from bottom, it says "hide slide"

Is that checked? If so uncheck it and problem solved.

If not, someone else will have to pitch in another idea. Let us know if that works.

A hidden slide is your most likely problem. Here are two other
possibilities:

(1) Do you have a custom show. It might be that you have the slide show
set to play a custom show, and this slide is not in it. Go to Slide Show
menu and Set Up Show and look to see if it is set to play a custom show
or set to play certain slides. If so set it to play all slides.

(2) Look at your slide transitions. Perhaps you have that slide set to
move to the next side after 0 seconds.

Ok...because I wanted my first two slides to repeat themselves in a loop (an only those 2) we (the apple store person that helped me) put in in a custom show. There are about 40 some slides altogether. When i opened up the slide show menu and then went to set up show and custom a box opened up that had 2 shows in there...one was the two looped slides and the other were the rest of the PP slides. I just noticed that now two additional slides are now not showing up when I do the presentation (like they are hidden...I must have pressed the hidden "button" at some point with them. So that is my situation right now...I am almost afraid to touch anything as I might mess it up further. The slide transitions for the main show is is set for manual...and has no minutes that show anywhere. When I open up Custom Show box the following appears:

Custom Shows

Intro Loop New
Main Show Edit
                        Remove
                        Copy

So the problem is not resolved...does this help you to understand my situation better? Since i am new at this i need step by step instructions. Please help as I am getting really nervous and I have to travel from Rochester NY to Columbus Ohio next Wed.
Thanks...

It's hard to say exactly what is going on without looking at the slide
show. For the Main Show custom animation, do you have all the slides
there? If you are afraid of messing something up, then make a copy of
the presentation. Then, if you mess up the copy beyond recognition, you
can still go back to the original. You might want to have a look at the
PowerPoint Looping tutorial here:

I believe it was written for Windows, but everything should still work
on the Mac version.
