Create a self-running

presentation

You can use a self-running presentation to run unattended

in a booth or kiosk at a trade show or convention, or you can
save it as a video and send it to a client.
• On the Slide Show tab, click Set Up Slide
Show.
• Under Show type, pick one of the following:
▫ To present your slide show in a window, where
control over advancing the slides is available to the
people watching, select Browsed by an
individual (window).
▫ To loop your slide show until the people watching
press Esc, select Browsed at a kiosk (full
screen).

Note: Selecting this option automatically selects the Loop continuously until
'Esc" check box and causes your slide show to run in a loop.
Set up slide transitions
• If you want a slide show to run automatically at a kiosk, you can control
when and how the slides advance. To do this, you can apply the same
transition to all slides in the presentation and set the transition to
automatically advance after a certain time interval.
1. On the Transitions tab, click the transition that you want.

To see more transitions, point to a transition, and then click More Down Arrow.
2. Do the following on the Transitions tab:
• To set the amount of time that each slide is displayed, select
After and enter the number of seconds you want.
• To set the duration of each transition between slides, enter the
amount of time in the Duration box.
• Click Apply to All.
