Here's my problem:

I have the first slide of a presentation with a text in it (it starts with
text already appeared). I wanna do these actions in sequence:

1. Click somewhere in slide
2. start text animation (fade)
3. advance to next slide (after fade)

I cannot have this result because

A. If I set first slide transition to "On mouse click" then after fade I
need to click (instead of automatic forward to next slide)
B. If i set first slide transition to "Automatically after 00.00" then fade
starts immediately as I start presentation (instead of waiting my first
click).
C. If I set fade effect "starts on click" this wont prevent immediately
start by "Automatically after" transition.

There is a way to solve?

Thanks

Forgot to mention: I'm using Powerpoint 2002.

There is a workaround of sorts, Alessandro.

Create a duplicate slide (a "dummy" slide) from your first slide. The
second slide has the same content as the first slide does, but the
content is modified to look exactly like the previous slide in the state
immediately before you want the last effects. This slide has no
transition, but is set to automatically advance from the slide
transitions task pane. The auto-advance will play the click through
sequence of effects, and follow up by transitioning to the next slide.

The end result is that the last click on the slide transitions to the
dummy slide which automatically transitions through the click sequence.

I'll email you a small sample presentation.

Thanks for the answer Echo: I already tried this solution but result isn't
too nice...
When you apply a Fade effect on a white text (with black or gray
background) automatically Powerpoint smooth edges.
So dummy slide has normal white text, and real one has a smooth edges white
text.The move from dummy to real slide is too evident so no good for me.

Do you know if PPT2003 has same problem?
