Slide Advances after Long Period
I have a slide presentation with a few simple custom animations. When I sit
on any slide for a long period of time (which often happens when discussions take place during a meeting), it automatically "clicks" itself - either the next animation plays, or it advances to the next slide, without my doing anything. Anyone know if this is a setting somewhere that I can turn off? Or is there something weird going on with my presentation? |

Anyone know if this is a setting somewhere that I can turn off? Or is there something weird going on with my presentation? What version of PowerPoint are you using? Also, what hardware are you using. For example, do you have some kind of wireless mouse or keyboard that could send the erroneous click? There are animation settings and transition settings to automatically advance. These settings are "overridden" by a mouse click so if you click early, it will go to the next animation or slide, but you would have had to set the animation and/or transition to advance automatically. Look in the timings of your custom animations to see if they are set to go "after previous" with possibly a long time in the timing box. --David -- David M.
