MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / September 2006Switching to the next slide on single click
Hello! Each slide of my Power Point 2003 presentation contains animated AutoShape object - quad arrow that appears on each slide and makes full spin (360 degrees) clockwise repeatedly until end of slide. When I left-click during the slide show, the next slide doesn't appear. But the second click does switch to the next slide. Without spinning arrow slides are switched normally, on single click. But with spinning arrow, double click is required. I've tried inserting "Next"action button, and clicking on that button switches to the next slide perfectly. But using such button is no good for me :( I just want slides to be switched on single left-click. The custom animation settings for the quad arrow are: Effect name: Spin Effect options: Amount: 360 deg. clockwise Smooth Start: No Smooth End: No Auto-reverse: No Sound: No Sound After Animation: Don't Dim Timing options: Start: With Previous Delay: 0 seconds Speed: 11,0 seconds Repeat: Until End Of Slide Rewind when done playing: n/a Triggers: animate as part of click sequence. So, please, can anybody help me to switch to the next slide on single click? Thanks in advance. Saf. If you wait for the autoshape to finish animating its first 360 degrees, then do a mouse click, you will be able to proceed on to the next slide. By having a mouse click before it finishes its first spin(360 degrees), you are telling PowerPoint to end the first spin earlier and not proceeding to the next slide. One way you can do is to add a rectangle, then set the fill to 99% transparency and with no line color. This will make the rectangle 'invisible'. Resize the rectangle so that it covers the entire slide. Right click on the rectangle, select action settings. Have it hyperlink to the next slide.
