When you create a playlist to run in the Microsoft PowerPoint Viewer, you can use a command-line option in front of a presentation name to control how a presentation or group of presentations runs. To get more details about creating a playlist, see the Help topic "Create a playlist and run it from the PowerPoint Viewer."
| Use this option | To |
|---|---|
| /a | Automatically advance the slides in the presentation |
| /r=m-n, where m and n represent numbers for the first and last slide in the range, respectively | Specify a slide range. For example, /r=3-5 would specify slides 3 through 5. |
| /l | Loop continuously until you press ESC |
| /k | Set a presentation to run in kiosk mode |
| /v | Show the macro virus warning |
To apply an option to individual presentations in the playlist, use the following format:
option path\filename1
Important A space must be included between the command-line option and "path/filename".
For example, to run the Pres1.ppt presentation repeatedly until you press ESC and then run the Pres2.ppt presentation repeatedly until you press ESC, use the following:
/l Pres1.ppt
/l Pres2.ppt
To apply an option to a group of presentations in the playlist, use the following format:
option "path1\filename1" "path2\filename2"
For example, to run each presentation once, and then begin again after the last presentation has completed, use the following:
/l "Pres1.ppt" "Pres2.ppt" "Pres3.ppt"
