I have two slides (currently) and one piece of music. To have a number of slides so that additional information would be available to the children as they listened to the music. The presentation is to be used when the children come into assembly and later as they leave. The time taken depends upon a number of variables which is why I need the show to continue until such time as all the assembly is ready to begin. If I tell you what I want to do/achieve would you be able to give me a step by step guide as you did with the Custom show? I feel that I have done everything that I should have done (or suggested that I do) but I still cannot get the presentation to behave as I would like. I think the best thing to do would be to start over because my presentation is behaving very strangely when I make changes now! Once again thank you for your help so far. Author of "OOXML Hacking - Unlocking Microsoft Office's Secrets", now available John Korchok, Production Manager John, You'll start presenting in the first presentation, click the action button to enter the loop and use the ESC key to leave the loop and return to the slide in the main presentation that has the action button. The second presentation is looped in the conventional way (Slide Show>Set Up Slide Show>Check "Loop continuously until 'Esc'".

Choose the Mouse Click tab of Action Settings, select Hyperlink to: and choose Other PowerPoint Presentation. , then select the second presentation and the starting slide in it. In this presentation, on the slide where you want to move into the loop, you add an action button that hyperlinks to the second presentation:

One presentation is the main one with non-looping slides. However, you can get a similar effect by creating 2 presentations.

The only way I know how to repeat a loop for a fixed number of times is to install an event handler add-in and write VBA to count the number of loops.
