Microsoft PowerPoint 2007

Loop a Slideshow Continuously

SUMMARY: Keep looping through a PowerPoint 2007 slideshow continuously until the 'Esc' key is pressed.

Depending on where you plan on presenting your Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 slideshow, if it is set up to automatically advance between slides, you may wish it to continuously repeat. This may be useful, for example, if you are displaying a presentation at a conference while waiting for all of the attendees to show up and take their seats.

1. Click the "Slide Show" tab in the Ribbon.

2. In the "Set Up" section, click the "Set Up Slide Show" button.

3. The "Set Up Show" dialog box appears. Underneath "Show options", check the box "Loop continuously until 'Esc'".

4. Click "OK" to close the dialog box.

I've done it exactly in the above way (set up slide show until Esc). Added few more slides to an existing presentation. And now I cannot play those added as slide show! PP2007 doesn't allow me to play my movies in this way either! (I can play them all one by one. It stops before added slide/ the one with a movie. Help very much appreciated.
