power point project won't move to the next slide

[deborah_o_smith]

I create a project with several power point slides and then some automation and then slides again. The automation created within captivate moves from slide to slide. But the power point slides don't move to the next slide automatiacally. I have to click on next to make them move. I looked in the manual and can't find a source to tell me what to do with the slides to make them move automatically (like a slide show would be).  Any suggestions?

Hi there

Look at the Timeline for the slides that refuse to move. Do you see a Click Box object? If so, click on it and delete it. Also, please review the page linked below.

I don't see what you are referring to. I'm just doing a simple project. Nothing fancy. I can't figure out why the power point slides aren't moving.

Hi there

When you import a PPT, you have two options. One option allows the PPT to just play through. The other option inserts a Click Box object on slides that prevents the slide from moving forward until clicked by the user. The choice is made in the dialog.

The default is On mouse click. After your slides arrive, the timeline looks like this:

To allow the slide to move forward, delete the Click Box.

Pictures are the ticket! I fixed the problem. It was the clicked box. Once deleted it worked perfectly!

Thanks for your help
