I have a question regarding animation in power point....... My presentation is about 40 slides long. The first 5 slides have peoples names on them that are receiving awards. What I have done is looped the first 5 slides to change every 6 seconds which will be on as people enter the room. What is happening is that I have to press escape to exit out of the loop. But what happens when I press exscape I exit out of the presentation and I get back to the view all slides page not the start slide (slide # 6) of my presentation. Is there anyway to just move to slide #6 instead of exiting?
