In Microsoft PowerPoint, how do you loop pictures at the bottom of your presentation on each slide?

Question

For instance, if you are presenting a project using PowerPoint, how do you have pictures looping on each slide. I recently saw a presentation that some architects put together. They were putting their bid in to build a building, but at the same time, they had pictures of previous buildings they had built looping in the bottom corner of each slide. My boss loved it, and I am having a hard time figuring out how to duplicate it. Thanks!

Hi,

You can make an animated gif and then put that onto the slide master (View > Master > Slide Master) as a movie (Insert > Movies and Sound > Movie from File). Once it is on the slide master then right click on it, givve it a custom animation to "play" and tell it to loop continuously.

Anything you put on the master slide is automatically on each subsequent slide. PowerPoint is smart enough to not make copies of the objects. It simply references them so that the presentation size does not grow dramatically each time such an object is used.
