Repeat your presentation with continuous loops
You can set up your presentation to replay continuously
by moving from the last slide back to the first slide in
your presentation. This option is available by using
the Set Up Show dialog box to continually loop your
presentation until you press the Esc key.
The ability to loop presentations is especially useful
when you have to repeat a presentation without
interruption between sessions. For example, if you
have to deliver a presentation repeatedly in a booth
at a trade show, looping the presentation saves time
because you no longer have to stop and restart the
presentation after every delivery.
Without the ability to continually loop the presentation,
when you finish delivering your presentation in Slide
Show mode, the presentation goes back to Normal
view in PowerPoint, which you would not want the
audience to see, especially when your presentation
is being projected onto a large screen. Instead, when
you continually loop the presentation, you can advance
from the last slide to the first without interruption
because the presentation stays in Slide Show mode the
entire time.
1 Click the Slide Show tab.
2 Click Set Up Slide Show.
The Set Up Show dialog box
appears.

until ‘Esc’ check box ( changes

4 Click the Manually
option ( changes

5 Click OK.
The slide show is set to repeat
continuously until you press the
Esc key.
