Slide Looping

[Bryant]

I have an animated slide with music associated. How can I set it up so that
the animation loops until the music is finished?

If you have only one slide, click Slide Show > Slide Transition.
Put a checkmark to Automatically after.
This allows the slide to advance automatically.

Next, click Slide Show > Set Up Show.
Put a checkmark to Loop continuously until 'esc'.
This allows the slide to loop itself.
Is that what you want?

Actually I have a TON of slides. This is the first slide (I am using it to
let everyone know to take their seats), and I want the animation to play
until the music ends. Then I want to be able to go to the next slide without
the music. The animation only last a minute but the music lasts for 5
minutes. In other words I woud like to have the animation repeat/loop for 5
minutes

Bryant,
Not sure of a way to loop it for 5 minutes. The link given above allows you
to achieve this, but you will need to manually jump to the content. See if
others have a better suggestion.

Instead of looping ( I dont think you can loop for a set time) how about
crearing a custom show with 5 identical slides. Have an action button at the
start of the real presentation to hyperlink to the custom show and tick "show
and return" You will need to set the music to "with previous" and also "stop
playing after 5 slides"
