Slide Show ends after 5 minutes in Powerpoint 2007

[medrev1]

The first time I tried to run a slide show created in Powerpoint 2003 in
Powerpoint 2007, the slide show ended and returned me to the home screen
after 5 minutes of no slide show activity. All of the slide shows I run have
an occassion slide which may need to be visible for several hours on screen
while other work is done during a meeting. Is there a known bug with
Powerpoint 2007? I tried to locate an option to fix the issue, but no luck.

This has been an On and Off again problem with using the "Browsed at a
KIOSK" method under "Slide show", "Set up show". Change it to "Presented by
a Speaker" and you shouldn't have that problem.

I checked, the presentation was already in "Presented by a Speaker" mode, but
I set it for "Browsed at a KIOSK" and then set it back to "Presented..." --
this seems to have worked. Many thanks for the reply.

Glad it worked, even though it sounds strange. I'll post this up to our
group to see if it is a bug.

THANKS!
