Q: How do I loop just one section of my slideshow?

I have a slideshow of about 50 slides that I'd like to move through manually. There are a couple of natural stopping points in the slideshow where I'd like a series of slides just to loop on their own in the background while I talk, then proceed to the next slide when I click to move forward.

 

Is it possible to have a manual slideshow that had a loop like this in the middle?

    Keynote can not loop a group of slides, it can only loop the whole presentation.

     

    There are two workarounds for this:

     

    1. divide the presentation up into separate files,  (those to be looped and those to play normally)
      loop the slides in the appropriate presentations:      Inspector > Document > Document and leave the other files unlooped:

    play the presentations one after the other in the correct order.

     

     

     

    2 - export a  video for each set of slides to be seen looping,  then place those videos in the Keynote presentation at the appropriate place
         set the video to loop in the Inspector:
