PowerPoint questions?

I have created a PowerPoint presentation, and I did custom animations for each slide so that text or pictures appear as I talk after them. It's great when I present.

Now, I need to put the PPT on a computer and have it running by itself, switching slides every 8-10 seconds or so. QUESTION: Can I do that for the whole presentation, or do I have to go into each slide and do a custom animation?

QUESTION #2: I'd like to save the PPT on a CD. Then I want it to automatically start running when the CD is inserted. I don't want the recipient to have to open the PPT, click slideshow, etc. How do I do that.

Thank you in advance.

    Question #1) Click on Slide Show then on Slide Transition, click on Automatic After set for 8 or 10 seconds click Apply To All Slides.

    Question #2 you'll need to make certain the receiving computer has Power Point Reader or Microsoft Power Point 2003 or higher, or it won't play.
