Setting up continuous play for your PowerPoint presentation is a relatively straightforward process. This enables your presentation to run automatically and loop back to the beginning once it finishes, which is especially helpful during trade shows, exhibitions, or waiting areas. Here are the steps you can follow:
Step 1: Set Up Slide Show
Go to the ‘Slide Show’ tab located in the main toolbar. In the ‘Set Up’ section, click on ‘Set Up Slide Show’. This will open a dialog box.
Step 2: Show Options
In the ‘Set Up Show’ dialog box, under ‘Show type’, select ‘Browsed at a kiosk (full screen)’. This option lets the presentation run in a continuous loop until the viewer ends it.
Step 3: Loop Continuously
Under ‘Show options’, check the box that says ‘Loop continuously until ‘Esc”. After selecting this, click the ‘OK’ button to apply the settings.
Step 4: Timing
If you want your slides to advance automatically, you will need to set timings for each slide. Go to the ‘Transitions’ tab and check the box that says ‘After’ under ‘Advance Slide’. Set the number of seconds you want each slide to display.
Remember to click ‘Apply To All’ if you want the same timing for all slides. Alternatively, you can set individual timings for each slide by selecting the slide and setting the timing.
Step 5: Save and Test
Save your presentation and test the settings by viewing the slide show. It should run automatically and loop back to the beginning once it finishes.
By following these steps, you can set up continuous play for your PowerPoint presentation. If you need any further assistance or professional help in creating engaging and impressive presentations, SlideGenius is always here to help.
