Set the Timing for Each Slide

After you create the presentation, the first step in making it self-running is to specify the amount of time each slide is visible. This procedure is essential if your presentation runs automatically, and it can be a useful feature for interactive presentations as well, to prevent your presentation from getting “stuck” on one slide. Run through your presentation slide by slide, being sure to allow plenty of time to read each slide.

No waiting   Instead of waiting for the time to elapse for each slide, you can select the time counter above the Advance button in the Rehearsal dialog box and type the amount of time you want. No waiting, part II   You can also apply slide timings by selecting a slide in slide view or slide sorter view, clicking Slide Transition (Slide Show menu), and typing the amount of time you want in the Seconds box.

Create Presentations for the World Wide Web

One way of thinking about the Web is that it comprises thousands of interactive self-running presentations. You can create your own “Internet presentations” by using PowerPoint. For more information, see Create a Web Presentation with PowerPoint.
