Thanks Bruce! That is so retarded. Even with automatic timings, I had to adjust the settings from “manual transision” to “advance with timings if present.” Whats the point?

This didn’t work for me either, and I found the answer here:

Look toward the end of the posts, the “Slide Show”>”Set Up Show” options may be the culprit!

I am having the same issue. My slides don’t advance automatically. I set them to change after 1 second and still nothing.

Do you have a sound file embedded in it?

If you do have a sound file embedded, do this:

a. Go to the 1st slide where you have the sound file embeded.

b. Select Animation

c. Select Custom Animation

d. Click on the Sound icon inside the slide.
On the right side of the screen, click on the pull-down menu for the sound object.

e. Select Effect Option

f. Under the “Stop Playing: After”, enter 99.

g. Click OK.

Hope you can understand the above. It is difficult to explain without pictures embedded.

I dont know why it works but it works. It is the same solution for the previous version of PPT. Microsoft is nuts!!

regards,
