Hi,
First save the file. Then do a Save As and save the presentation as a "show". In the Save dialog box, click on the arrow in the Save As Type window and select "PowerPoint Show". The file will then open as a Show, so if you've created timed settings on it, it should run automatically. When you are in the "show", you can use the ESC key to exit.
Good luck!
Best,
Kathy![[2thumbsup]](/data/assets/smilies/2thumbsup.gif "[2thumbsup] [2thumbsup]")
