You can advance from slide to slide in a presentation in several ways, such as clicking your mouse, or by waiting for a certain interval of time to pass. The manual approach of clicking your mouse gives you control, but keeps your hands busy during the presentation. The automatic timed advance feature is useful when you are showing a slide show on the Web or in an unattended setting, such as a mall kiosk. If you need to have a combination of methods within the presentation, you can make this setting on a slide by slide basis using tools on the Animations tab.

Select a Method to Advance a Slide

1. Display a slide with a transition applied to it.

2. Click the Animations tab.

3. Click the On Mouse Click check box to advance the slide manually; or...

4. Click the Automatically After check box.

5. Click the spinner arrows to set an interval of time at which to advance.
