Creating automatic, timed slide shows

SlideShowAuto displays a series of images automatically with a specified time interval between images (similar to an animated GIF).

The following rules apply to images used for the SlideShowAuto action:

You cannot have more than one SlideShowAuto action and SlideShow action on the same page.

6 From the Base Image menu, choose the starting image you named in step 3 and which will be replaced with the rest of the images in the slide show.

8 For Interval (in Secs.), enter the number of seconds to wait between displaying images.

9 Select Stop at End of Slideshow to play the slide show a single time only. Otherwise, the slideshow will play continuously.
