PP 2003 has GIF timing problem

[Fatfreek]

My PP 2003 presentation has a problem.



The 2nd slide combines a GIF animation of 9 frames and a single MP3 audio
file which describes it. The timings of the GIF is, of course, important.
Each of the 9 frames has different timings, each to match segments of the
audio. They all time perfectly when I simply play that slide.



However, when I play Slide Show / View Show (playing all from the beginning)
that 2nd slide begins by displaying the 2nd frame, effectively skipping the
first frame and its 6 seconds, throwing the timing off for the subsequent
frames.



Any suggestions?

Questions:

"Simply play that slide" Are you doing this with shift f5 or the "Slide
Show" button in custom animation?? Or something else?

Are you trying to add an entrance animation to the GIF?
