returning to "page 1" after so many minutes

[Jay Pennington]

I'm puttng together powerpoint slideshows for sermons...the problem is that
on the PC where I'm running the slideshow if I don't keep wiggling the mouse
the slideshow will return to slide #1 after so many minutes of inactivity.

It doesn't do that at home - it stays at the slide I've put it on - but at
the other location it jumps back to slide #1. How can I keep it from going
back to slide #1 - what setting do I need to do in my slide show or on the
other PC's Powerpoint?

Thanks!

This is a feature of Kiosk mode (although the feature was temporarily
broken in one version, probably the version you have). If you go the
Slide Show menu and choose Set Up Show, you can choose another option
besides Browsed at a Kiosk.

Kiosk mode prevents users from using the keyboard or mouse for
navigation, except by clicking on buttons and Hyperlinks (or Escape to
exit). If you are creating the presentations for your own use, you
probably don't need Kiosk mode.
