have to click twice to move on from slide with motion paths

[Guest]

Hi all

I have created a slide where lots of pictures glide across the screen
continuously using repeating motion paths. I have set each motion path to
repeat until end of slide and the slide transition to advance on mouse click.
However, when I clcik all the pictures kind of 'have a moment' (they all
pause) then continue to scroll and I have to click again to move to the next
slide. It's not a huge issue, but a bit irritating - particularly as I'm
sure it wasn't doing it last night....

Thanks for the help

All fixed now - I was just being impatient I think (if I let it run for a
while I only needed to click once).

Hi,

Thanks for letting us know. In 2002 and 2003, when you click before an
animation is finished, it makes the animation finish. It's a good feature if
you are in a hurry and want to speed things up. But there are traps if you
are not sure what is happening.
