Powerpoint show won't loop continuously - why?

[Tina2002]

Hi - I have been trying to get this show to run continuously in a loop but haven't had any success - this is what I have done so far:

I made sure that the animations are set to run automatically in the "order and timings" tab option.

In set up show, I tried *both* options of "Browsed by an individual" and "Browsed at a kiosk"

When I use the option of "Browsed by an individual" the loop continually until Esc option is available, but when I use the option "Browsed at a kiosk" the loop continuously until Esc is greyed out - is this normal??

In any case when I use "Browsed by an individual", even if the "Loop until Esc" is ticked off, the show still has to be advanced manually.

And if I use "Browsed at a Kiosk" the show won't run at all.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks
Tina

What version of powerpoint?

Chances are your slides do not have any timings associated with them. Go to the slide sorter view click on the first slide, click on the clock and then click right arrow on the toolbar that pops up (for each slide) when you think the slide has been on long enough. Do this until the end of the presentation. Then the Kiosk part will work. And yes, the ESC is greyed out when you use the Kiosk option. But ESC does stop the slide show.
