Creating a Self-Running Presentation

Self-running slide shows are a great way to communicate information without needing someone to run the show. You might want to set up a presentation to run unattended in a kiosk at a trade show or place it on your company's Intranet to run at the user 's convenience. When you save a presentation as a PowerPoint Show, it will launch directly into a slide show when opened.
