PowerPoint Clicks to Next Slide

[LeighAnne]

I have a presentation of 70 slides. For 69 of the slides the presenter has to press the mouse button three times before PowerPoint will move on to the next slide. For 1 slide it works the way I need it to, i.e. one click to move to the next slide.

Is this a setting anywhere? I don't seem to be able to find it anywhere, any ideas?

Under Slide Show, Custom Animation, Timing, Start Animation, verify the settings. Are slides timed rather than set for mouse clicks? Also, check Slide Show, Slide Transition for this. Finally, if all else fails, I'd check the mouse sensitivity settings under Control Panel and/or try another mouse.

Under Slide Show, Custom Animation, Timing, "Start Animation" is greyed out so I cannot check any of the settings. Do you know how I can enable it ?

Are the toggle buttons for "Animate" and "Don't Animate" greyed out?
If they're not, select "Animate" and you'll be allowed to select the mouse click or after so many seconds options.
You have to Animate selected whether you're animating an object, enabling mouse clicks, whatever...
Let me know if this helps, if not, we'll try something else.
