MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / May 2008Start Rehearse Timings from middle of show
I have a fairly long presentation that's basically broken down into two parts, with two different audio tracks for each part. I'm pretty happy with the rehearsed timings of the first part, but very unhappy with the second part. How can I do the Rehearse Timings STARTING from the second part? Or do I have to do the ENTIRE thing from the start all over again? I could manually change the timing of each slide in the second part, but that would be incredibly labor intensive. Thank you! Hi SKG You can't start rehearse timings from the middle but you can start record narration from the selected slide. You don't have to have a mic plugged in so it doesn't actually need you to record any sound and you can go through deleting the sound icons from the slides afterwards, but it does retain the timings. Will that work for you? BTW I would do this on a copy of your presentation just in case it all goes pear-shaped...

I decided to preview the slide show starting from the second half and then manually fiddled with each time as needed, going back to the beginning of the second half after each "fiddling." It was still a little labor intensive, but it eliminated the need to reinvent the wheel of doing the whole first half all over again. Thanks for your quick response. > Hi SKG > [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > > would > > be incredibly labor intensive. Thank you! Move the slides comprising the second part of the presentation to the beginning of the slide, add an empty slide in between both the parts -- and rehearse timings. When you come to the empty slide, press Escape and opt to save rehearsed timings for the slides you already worked on -- move these slides back to the later half of the presentation and delete the empty slide. Also, as Lucy mentioned -- do all changes only on a copy of the presentation.
