Slide transition cancels custom animation timing pp2002
This is making me crazy: when I apply a slide transition of any kind, my
custom animations that were set to Start On Click run automatically with no pause. If I remove the transition, they start on click again. I want the animation to run when I click, followed automatically by the slide transition, and proceed until it reaches the next Start On Click animation. I use PowerPoint 2002 on Windows XP. Am I doing something wrong, or do I have a bug? Thanks! |

By any chance are you trying to apply a *timed* auto-transition instead of a
manual one? If you tell PowerPoint that you want the slide to advance in, say, 12 seconds, then it assumes that this is the top priority and runs the animations automatically so that you are able to advance on time. No bug, not broke, this is designed behavior running as it was told to. There is a way around this, of course. Insert a slide that is a duplicate, prior to the one you want to advance. Remove all the animation from it (not the objects, just the animations). Then set it to manually advance (on click) and the following one to auto advance. To the audience they will not see the change of slides, but will see what appeared to be a cued animation that lead directly into a transition. Don't be afraid of smoke-and-mirrors tricks, after all reality is just an un-penetrated illusion. -- Bill Dilworth Microsoft PPT MVP Team =============== Please spend a few minutes checking vestprog2@ out www.pptfaq.com This link will yahoo. answer most of our questions, before com you think to ask them.

Bill,
Kudos for the PowerPoint Smoke & Mirrors. That's my kind of trick. Glenna "Bill Dilworth" wrote: By any chance are you trying to apply a *timed* auto-transition instead of a manual one?

Bill,
I've got so much smoke and mirrors in this thing I can't see the floor. Mostly white-out rectangles to hide animated objects when printing the handouts. Apparently, I misunderstand the "Advance Slide/Automatically after..." setting. I assumed it meant automatically after the last action. You're telling me it relates to how long the slide has been on screen--and that it overrides all of the manual clicks on the slide? So, if I set it to 00:00, it runs straight through as fast as it can? Your duplicate-slide transition trick sounds like it's the fix I need. Thanks! --Barry "Bill Dilworth" wrote: By any chance are you trying to apply a *timed* auto-transition instead of a manual one?

Floor? What makes you think there was a floor? (g)
You are now correct, it relates to how long the slide will be displayed on the screen. And it does override all manual animation timings. Bill |
