does anyone know how to make powerpoint countdown

[paul smith]

does anyone know how to make powerpoint countdown for e.g. 54321. I recieved
a presentation a while ago and it looked as if it was on the same slide
before moving onto the next slide in the presentation.
thank you in advance

Probably the easiest way is to have five superimposed shapes each with a
differnt number and have them exit (or appear depending on the order) in
sequence with a 1 second delay between them.

In addition to what John said, someone else just asked a similar
question and got another great answer from TAJ:

You can make one yourself by creating several pages/slides and set the
'slide transition' to wait x amount of seconds to advance to the next slide.

Or there's some here... not free though!
