HELP - Sports Banquet This Week

[WORSS]

Hi,

I am in charge of an upcoming sports banquet and am planning to use
Powerpoint 2000 to display pictures of this past season. The pitch consists
of hundreds of pictures and music. The idea will be to hit a button and
have this presentation run automatically for about 20 minutes. The success
of past presentations is causing me some issues as I have far more good
pictures this year than years past from people who have submitted them to
me.

At this point, I have broken the presentation into two files....both are
approximately 100MB each! What is the best way to seamlessly have this
presentation run with no gaps between the 1st and 2nd (or 3rd if I need it)
files? I have experimented with an LST file with no luck so far. I have
also heard that a third presentation with two hyperlinks to the two
presentations will also work, but have not been able to get this to work
either. There will be 200 people at this banquet....so please help me!

Thanks,
Bill

If you follow the linking technique as described in this tutorial....then
each presentation will flow to the next one automatically with no user
intervention.

Obviously you will have to set each slide to "advance" automatically after x
seconds on the (Slideshow>SlideTransition menu).

I'd be inclined to split the presentations into 4 x 50mb. Then the loading
time between each presentation is minimized. Loading a 100mb presentation
would have a delay.
