Start Rehearse Timings from middle of show

[SKG]

I have a fairly long presentation that's basically broken down into two
parts, with two different audio tracks for each part. I'm pretty happy with
the rehearsed timings of the first part, but very unhappy with the second
part. How can I do the Rehearse Timings STARTING from the second part? Or
do I have to do the ENTIRE thing from the start all over again? I could
manually change the timing of each slide in the second part, but that would
be incredibly labor intensive. Thank you!

Hi SKG

You can't start rehearse timings from the middle but you can start record
narration from the selected slide. You don't have to have a mic plugged in
so it doesn't actually need you to record any sound and you can go through
deleting the sound icons from the slides afterwards, but it does retain the
timings. Will that work for you?

BTW I would do this on a copy of your presentation just in case it all goes
pear-shaped...

I decided to preview the slide show starting from the second half and then
manually fiddled with each time as needed, going back to the beginning of the
second half after each "fiddling." It was still a little labor intensive,
but it eliminated the need to reinvent the wheel of doing the whole first
half all over again. Thanks for your quick response.

Move the slides comprising the second part of the presentation to the
beginning of the slide, add an empty slide in between both the parts -- and
rehearse timings. When you come to the empty slide, press Escape and opt to
save rehearsed timings for the slides you already worked on -- move these
slides back to the later half of the presentation and delete the empty slide.

Also, as Lucy mentioned -- do all changes only on a copy of the presentation.

Oh that's cute. Didn't cross my mind at all, d'oh!
