= SUMMARY =

You can use a playlist file with the Microsoft PowerPoint Viewer to show several presentations sequentially. When one presentation ends, the next one is loaded automatically.

You can return to previous slides in your current presentation by using the PAGE UP, P or RIGHT ARROW key. However, you can back up only to the first slide in your current presentation. You can’t return to the previous presentation in the list without quitting your current presentation and starting the playlist again.

= MORE INFORMATION =

A Playlist file is a text file that contains the names of your presentations separated by carriage returns, one presentation name per line. You can create Playlist files in a text editor such as Notepad or TeachText.

NOTE: If you will be using your playlist with Windows, the file extension should be .LST.
