Manual control of slide show, then when finishes show same slides on timed slide show...?

Hi,

Rather long subject but you get the idea.

A friend has about 100 slides to go through and talk about (using
manual advance) and after they have finished he wants to set it up so
that the same slide show is viewed but this time with the slides on
automatic advance (with fade in/out).

For myself as a very newbie PPT user, any help for this would be
greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Dave.

Create a duplicate presentation, go to Slide Sorter view and select all
slides. Choose Slide Show | transition, pick up the Fade transition, choose
a time and click Apply to All.

Link from the last slide of the first presentation.

Suggestion: Create a duplicate or the presentation with a different name
and set the transitions, etc. Also set it up as a Kiosk show. Then link
the last slide of the original presentation to the new one. When the
presenter reaches the last slide, he clicks on the link and can walk away.
The second presentation will loop continuously until Escape is pressed.

[CRITICAL UPDATE - Anyone using Office 2003 should install the critical
update as soon as possible. From PowerPoint, choose "Help -> Check for
Updates".]
[TOP ISSUE - Are you having difficulty opening presentations in PPT 2003
that you just created in PPT 2003? -
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=329820]

Hello,

1) Create your automatic advancing presentation (using slide transition
effects and timings).
2) Go into "Slide Show -> Set up Show" and select the option to Advance
slides "Manually", then
3) Click "OK", and Save the presentation

When you are done delivering your presentation, reverse the procedure:

4) Go into "Slide Show -> Set up Show" and select the option to Advance
slides "Using timings, if present", then
5) Click "OK", and Save the presentation

Now the presentation will use the slide timings that you specified earlier.

If you (or anyone else reading this message) have suggestions for how to
make this easier to do in PowerPoint, don't forget to send your feedback
(in YOUR OWN WORDS, please) to Microsoft at:

http://register.microsoft.com/mswish/suggestion.asp

It's VERY important that, for EACH wish, you describe in detail, WHY it is
important TO YOU that your product suggestion be implemented. A good wish
submssion includes WHAT scenario, work-flow, or end-result is blocked by
not having a specific feature, HOW MUCH time and effort ($$$) is spent
working around a specific limitation of the current product, etc. Remember
that Microsoft receives THOUSANDS of product suggestions every day and we
read each one but, in any given product development cycle, there are ONLY
sufficient resources to address the ones that are MOST IMPORTANT to our
customers so take the extra time to state your case as CLEARLY and
COMPLETELY as possible so that we can FEEL YOUR PAIN.

IMPORTANT: Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of
suggestions).

Dave,

Does your friend want to do this seamlessly?

Create the manual advance slideshow
When your friend has finished getting the slideshow to his/her liking... save it (call it manual-advance).
Open it....save it under a new name (call it rolling-slideshow)

Then set a link on the last slide of the manual show to call up rolling-slideshow

See here for how to create seamless links
