PPT Video Requires 2 Clicks

[Guest]

I am using a PPT 2003 with videos. While the video is running I click the
slide to advance and instead of advancing it stops the video. Then a click
will advance the slide. Also when I set the slide to advance after X seconds
it only works for slides without videos. Is there a setting I missed or it
just the way it works?

Thanx for any help

I am using a PPT 2003 with videos. While the video is running I click the
slide to advance and instead of advancing it stops the video.

This is because the playing video has the "focus" of the mouse and keyboard.

Then a click

will advance the slide. Also when I set the slide to advance after X
seconds it only works for slides without videos.

Correct, PPT can not advance automatically until everything (video, music,
animations, etc.) on the slide have completed.
