slide advance after action

[robert.hatcher]

On a slide I have the objects set to Dissolve Out and I want the slide
to advance to the next slide when this is complete. However, I have to
click the mouse for the slide to advance. I have made this work before
but I can’t make it work now ïŒ

Help!

Click Slide Show > Slide Transition. This will bring up the slide transition
task pane.
Under Advance slide,
Uncheck on mouse click and put a checkmark to Automatically after.
Take note NOT to select Apply to All slides.

Shawn, When I do that not only does the slide advance after the event,
but all the preceding mouse click actions on the slide get bypassed, or
respond as if the are set to "After Previous" instead of "On Mouse
Click". It seems like a bug...

Thanks
Robert

With slide transition set to automatically (00:00), it will force the slide
to animate and ignoring the on click.
One possible but tedious way you can do to avoid this is,
Make a duplicate slide.
On the original slide, remove the last object or text that will be animating.
Go to Slide Transition and make sure it is on click and not automatically
after.
Go to the duplicated slide and open up custom animation task pane.
Remove all the effects added except for the effects you have added on the
last slide. Go to Slide Transition now, remove on click and put a checkmark
to automatically after.
See if this helps.
