MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / September 2007Slide transition
Even though I have made dozens of Power Point presentations I am am stumped on a basic operation. The latest one I have made refuses to budge off of the opening slide. I made the transition timing automatic after so many seconds as usual and applied it to all slides but even though my opening slide with the custom animations and music works fine the slide then will not advance automatically to the next slide. I know I am missing something very basic but because all other presentations have worked fine and I am using a proven method I am stumped as to what has gone wrong? I had to change my animations to start after previous to get them to work at all and I haven't had to do that before so I am sure that this is the link but still can't fathom how to start the first of many slides after the previous? Thanks You probably have the music set incorrectly and the slide is waiting until the music ends before it will advance.

I have checked the link you sent me and this corroborates all that I thought I had done and usually do. I am missing something obvious as I have deleted the sound now and set the transition to 2 secs to get things moving but nothing happens unless I change the transitions to mouse click. I have done dozens of these without problem but this set of slides that were sent to me to add music must have some thing set in them that inhibits the auto slide transition.

Without the sound file to delay the advance, it has to be that it is waiting for some other animation to complete. You may want to look at your animations using the advanced animation timeline. Right click on any animation and select Show advanced timeline. Then look for the one that is far off to the right.

I have already set the stop playing after 999 slides as normal. I have checked the advanced timeline on the last animation and it says start playing after 8s and stop playing after 11s so I don't think it is this. I will try to make a new presentation using the same slides but the slides were already sent to me in a presentation with advance with the mouse click and no music. I was just trying to add music and get the advancement in auto in time with the music as I have done many times before but this so far defeats me as to why it stops on my opening page with the credit animations? I will save as a web page and extract all of the slides into another folder and start again. Is this the best way or other ideas?
