MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / July 2007Why won't my slide presentation advance automatically?
I set the slide transition to 7 seconds and to advance automatically. My music plays but the slides will not advance. In the music animation settings did you click "Continue Slide Show"? If not it will sit there until the music is done playing. Austin Myers MS PowerPoint MVP Team PowerPoint Video and PowerPoint Sound Solutions www.pfcmedia.com > I set the slide transition to 7 seconds and to advance automatically. My > music plays but the slides will not advance. I did set the necessary slides to play within the "custom animation" settings but for the life of me, I can't locate "music animation settings". Perhaps we're speaking of the same settings. Anyway, I finally have music playing for all of the slides and I even change music on a certain slide number so the first piece of music just doesn't repeat itselt. Thanks for you informative advice.

I am having the same problem as Mr. H - My slide will not advance with the music but I have the transition set up. I started the song in the middle of the file - would this have anything to do with why it is not advancing? I was also not able to find the music animation "Continue Slide Show" setting. Can you please tell me where to find this? Thanks. Manda > In the music animation settings did you click "Continue Slide Show"? If not > it will sit there until the music is done playing.

Hi Manda, In the order I used: Click on Slide Show, drag down to Set Up Show then Show Type. Check Growsed by Individual (Window) then click on Loop continuously until 'Esc'. Show Slides 1 to ??(your choice). Select Advance Slides and click on Usint Timings, if Present. Next highlight the sound icon and right click for listings. Click on Custom Animation. Click the down arrow at right side of selected music selection. Click on Effect Options - Tab Effects - click on either "From Beginning" or "From Last Position. Then Stop on- After ?? Slides. Next Tab Timing and click on Start After Previous and finally Repeat Until End of Slide. I did quite a bit of experimenting but I finally began with one piece of music and then introduced another selection after about 34 slides. All is working fine with me now. Hope some or all of this information will be of help..Mr. H. > I am having the same problem as Mr. H - My slide will not advance with the > music but I have the transition set up.

Thanks for the imput!! I did not know about setting up the show. I did that, but it still is not doing what I want it to do. I'm doing a "This Is Your Life" presentation and so there are many slides with different sound transitions. They all work fine except for the first two slides. I have the first two slides hooked to a sound file (that starts in the middle of the .wav file) and it is set up to play for only two slides. The bad part is, the whole sound file plays on the first slide and it never transitions. The first slide is set to change after 8 sec. so it should be going on to the second slide. It doesn't!! If I take the sound file out - the two slides transition perfectly. I can't figure out what is wrong!! If there are any more suggestions that anyone has, PLEASE let me know before I go crazy!! > Hi Manda, > [quoted text clipped - 31 lines] > > > > I set the slide transition to 7 seconds and to advance automatically.

Try resetting to the beginning the one sound starting in the middle and see if that fixes your problem.

So, I tried setting the song to the beginning and it still will not advance the slide. I think that I am about to give up trying to attach this wav in my presentation (it sucks because it really made the presentation). If you have any other ideas, let me know.

I appreciated Mr. Meyers' answer of making sure the "Continue Slide Show" is clicked but I haven't been able to find it.
