I'm in Office 2010 Professional Plus--I don't know if there are different
commands in your version or not. But in case you have 2010 or later, (or
maybe 2007), here's how you do it:
1) In the Slide Show tab, select "Set Up
Slide Show"
2) in the box that comes up, check "Loop continuously until
'Esc'", and on the right, under Advance slides, select "Using timings, if
present". Click OK.
3) Still on the Slide Show tab, select "Rehearse Timings",
and be prepared to use the Page Down key to advance the slides after the time
you want.
4) When you click on "Rehearse Timings", it will start recording.
The box in the upper left shows how much elapsed time for each slide and total
elapsed time. Be sure to do page down after the last slide, to go back to
your first slide, so you get a duration recorded for the last slide. 'Esc'
stops the recording and exits the slide show.
5) PowerPoint will go back to
slide sorter view, with the timings noted beneath each slide.
6) Now play the
slide show, and it will automatically advance and loop the slides, using the
timings you have recorded. Voila!
You were smart asking if there was a
techie out there who could help you--I didn't know how to do it, but figuring
it out was fun, so I'm glad I rose to the challenge! Neat idea you have to
show the slides like this at a demo.
Good luck,

Hello All! Is there a techie on Arachne who
could help me make this Power Point presentation into a continuous slide
show? Or let me know that I'm barking up the wrong tree? There's a
possibility that I will participate in a lace demo at a library & it would
make a great background, playing on a continuous loop. Many thanks.
