Thanks,
Glenna's suggestion isn't helpful to me because the timer starts when the
page opens. On the page is a wmv movie file. The player start time of the
movie is unpredictable from one computer (and one drive/media) to the next.
Bill's suggestion also is not helpful because it appears to me that the
Tools/Options "End with black slide" setting is computer specific. I cannot
pass on this option setting as part of the slideshow (ppt or pps seems to
have no significance to this).
