PowerPoint Slide Show Settings: Kiosk Setup

Setting up an information booth or kiosk is very simple. Any PowerPoint slide show can be made to run automatically and to loop continuously if desired.

To set up a slide show for an information booth or kiosk, with PowerPoint 2002:

  1. Set timings for all slides, this can be done from the Slide Sorter View by selecting Slide Transition from the Slide Show menu.

    Alternatively, click the Rehearse Timings icon from the Slide Sorter View to run the slide show, click with the mouse to advance through the slides at the desired pace. At the end of the show PowerPoint will give a summary of the time taken for the entire show and register these timings for each slide.

  2. Select Set Up Show from the Slide Show menu.

  4. Select Browsed At A Kiosk, in the Set Up Show window under Show Type and under Advance Slides select Using Timings, If Present.

Note that it may be a good idea to also unplug the keyboard from the computer, as the [Esc] key will stop the show.
