Power Point - Auto Slide Show Possible? 1

[wec43wec]

Are you able to create a power point presentation whereby all that is necessary is to click on the "first" slide which will prompt the program to display all other slides "automatically" ?

In other words I do not want to click on any other slide but the first slide.

I want all slides to show one at a time.

This is pretty basic. Do you have any books on Powerpoint? You didn't say what version you have so for Powerpoint 2000, 2002, 2003 go to Slide view, click Slide Show on the menu bar, then select Slide Transition. Check automatically after, set your seconds. Apply this to slides two to the last slide.

Fineily - Question: Is the user able to delay "any" of the slides (meaning to stop on any one slide to review longer)during the presentation and able to click another key to continue the automatic presentation?

Also, are you able to set a different time for each slide or must all slides be the same duration.

I would like to be able to set a "text only slide) to as an example 3 seconds and the graph slides at 10 seconds.

When you are in Slide Sorter view and you click Slide Show on the menu bar, then Slide Transition, you'll see on the right two buttons - Apply to All and just Apply. You'll click on a slide first, bring up this dialog box, put a check next to Automatically after, set a time and then click Apply. Then you go to the next slide and you can have the same or different timing.

As for pausing, when you run the presentation and a slide appears you want to pause, RIGHT click your mouse, select Screen and then Pause. Then when you're ready, Right click your mouse, select Screen and Resume.

Forgot this. To pause the presentation, just tap the S key on the keyboard. To restart, tap it again.
