1264254 2012-03-11 03:15:00 I have a series of powerpoint presentations (x12) all containing approx 60 - 100 photographs. Is there a simple way I can run all of these presentations in a looping sequence, possibly from another powerpoint slide? Tearing my hair out trying to work this one out. I thought maybe a macro but I wouldn't have a clue how to set one up & google doesn't seem to be much help. fnphoto (2434)
1264255 2012-03-11 03:50:00 Any reason you can't just copy all the slides into one presentation? stormdragon (6013)
1264256 2012-03-11 04:33:00 I thought that a single 675 - 700mb presentation would be a bit large a file to run from an old dunger lappy with only 1Gb RAM - all day? fnphoto (2434)
1264257 2012-03-11 04:45:00 To be honest, I don't know never made one that big. Shouldn't take long to setup though, if you're willing to give it a go?

Another way you could do it is select save as in powerpoint and choose one of the image formats, chuck them all in a folder, then simply tell windows to play them as a slideshow.

Windows movie maker can make a DVD or slide show in WMV format that can be set to an endless loop to play, displaying one picture after the other. You can set timings between pictures, as well as effects to transition to the next picture, add in music or what ever you like - and its free.
