Custom animation problems

[pbhewitt]

I have a PP presentation (Powerpoint 2002) that I have been working on for a week or so. I have custom animations built in so that lines of text appear on the slides sequentially. They were set to start "after previous" with a 5 second delay. It worked perfectly until I changed some of the animations to "on click". The "on click" does not work at all. As soon as the slide comes up the text appears on the slide. It is still sequential but they do not wait for me to click the mouse. I heard that this could be a problem with the background saving the previous settings but I do not know how to fix it. Can it be fixed or do I have to start all over again?

Maybe you don't have Advance Slide ... "on mouse click" set in the slide transition box?

I had the same problem. Under "Slide Show," select "Slide Transition."

Near the bottom of the Slide Transition window, you'll see Advance Slide.

Deselect "Automatically after (x) seconds."
