MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / August 2004player limitations
I'm creating powerpoint presentations at my home and taking them to a computer to display which only has the Powerpoint viewer. They had an earlier viewer which wasn't showing all the animated gifs...but with this newer viewer they loaded my powerpoint presentations have the following problems: 1) no sound 2) Action buttons only make the hand show up if the cursor is around the border of the button 3) If I don't jump to the next slide after so many seconds it takes me back to slide 1. I'm thinking I need them to load the whole Powerpoint package. I brought up the viewer by itself and didn't see any where there were options/settings to fix these issues. Help! If you are using PowerPoint 97 or 2000, the new Viewer will not play your audio or video files. If your action buttons have "no fill color", only the outer perimeter will be "hot". This can be corrected by filling the button with any color. I have not experienced the third problem. What are your slide transition settings? Is your presentation set to Kiosk? The old viewer is still available. You can download it from http://office.microsoft.com/downloads/2000/Ppview97.aspx Sonia Coleman Microsoft PowerPoint MVP Team Autorun Software, Templates and Tutorials > I'm creating powerpoint presentations at my home and taking them to a > computer to display which only has the Powerpoint viewer.

Under "Show options" look to see if "Loop continuously until ESC is checked" If so remove the check, save the presentation and try it that way.
