How to Create a Continuous PowerPoint Show
One of the most common ways to visually enhance any message is by use of the PowerPoint presentation (or show). It's often a staple at business meetings, classroom lectures, sales presentations, trade shows and even church services. Often the slides in a PowerPoint show are designed to compliment a speaker and someone (maybe even the speaker) will usually be in charge of advancing the slides on cue. However, when a PowerPoint show is designed to run continuously without the need for strict timings, the proper PowerPoint settings will have to be enabled beforehand.
