I have a need to display several PowerPoint slide shows on a large display.
I want each show to run in a certain order and at the end of the list, I
want to start over at the beginning so that they all will play in a
continious loop.

I tried the Package to CD but when it reaches the end of the playlist, it
displays a black screen with a click to exit message. There also appears no
way to loop.

Ideally I couild edit the slide show list and occassionally add, change or
remove individual slide shows.

I would greatly appreciate it if some PowerPoint expert could tell me a
simple way to do this.

Thanks in advance.

Ted,

The method of 'linking' presentations together described in this tutorial
would work for your needs.

Just set the 'master' presentation (the one that calls up/links to the other
presentations) to "loop until Esc"

Cheers
