Hi David

I copied this from an earlier post:

The easiest thing might be to have a blank slide before the slide with
the animations that automatically advances to the next slide.  Then, when
the animation sequence is finished, link to the blank slide, but this
will not be automatic.  If you know how many times you want to repeat,
you could probably do it with a custom show that contained, for example,
blank-slide animated-slide blank-slide animated-slide blank-slide
animated-slide blank-slide animated-slide blank-slide animated-slide
blank-slide animated-slide, etc.
