Custom Slide shows dont loop

I have a custom slide show designed in Powerpoint 2007 that I use for a
'welcome screen'. The custom show is designed to show the first slide with
the welcome message followed by the second slide containing a picture and
then back to the first slide followed by the third side which contains
another picture; so the slides are ordered as a custom slide show as
1,2,1,3,1,4,1,5,1,6. I want to loop this show so after slide 6 is displayed
it will start again at beginning of the presentation. However after the last
slide is displayed the presentation begins to loop between the first slide
and last slide eg. 1,6,1,6,1,6,1,6.

Does any one have a suggestion as to how I can get the complete custom slide
show to always repeat from the beginning so I get
1,2,1,3,1,4,1,5,1,6,1,2,1,3,1,4,1...

It appears like a bug but someone may have a good suggestion as to a work
around (other than copying slide 1 and placing it between each picture).

Hi

Please excuse me if I'm barking up the wrong tree ;-)

I would set up the slide master to look like the welcome screen then use
fade in/out on the pictures with delays between (or even on a slide each to
keep things easy). I did something similar I can send you if you want to see
what I mean. Contact me via my website.

If I haven't explained myself clearly enough, post back.

Hi Lucy

Thank you for this suggestion. I think I know what you mean so will give it
a go.

No probs. Feel free to post back if once you start to put it together my
answer makes less sense... ;-)
