Any way to seamlessly run slide shows sequentially?
PowerPoint 4 had a great feature called “Play Lists” that allowed PowerPoint to read a text (LST) file with the names of the presentation files in order, and it would play those files one after another in slide show. This was great for conferences, etc. Unfortunately, in fact tragically, this feature was lost in PowerPoint 95, and has never reappeared. Ugly workarounds include creating a DOS batch file, which switches between DOS and PowerPoint between each presentation (ooh, THAT’s nice). A less ugly alternative involves creating an agenda slide that contains jumps to other presentations saved as PPS files, so that they’re launched as slide shows. The third ugly alternative is to put a button on the last slide of each presentation that jumps to the first slide of the next presentation.
