I open up the audio editor and drag the slide boundaries to change when each slide starts. I hit Save & Close and it looks like it saves, but when I go back into the audio editor, the slide times are exactly what they were before. There is no actual audio in my slides; I am just trying to change the duration of each slide. Why is it not letting me do that?
Sorry, I missed the part about not having any audio. The default timing for slides without audio can't be overwritten by using the Audio Editor. Here are some options for you to try:
Another easier option, if this is going to be an interactive course, would be to adjust the default timings to 1 second and then set all slides to advance by user in Slide Properties. That way you wouldn't have to worry about timings.
You could also create silent audio WAV files in a third party tool with the timings you want to use and import them. I go into how to create them a little bit here.
OK, I think I get it now. I think what will make the most sense for me is to use silent audio to force the duration of the slide. Thanks so much for your help!!

Thanks for the reply Justin. I checked the communicator thing and all looks as it should.
Do you think the problem is that I'm trying to change the slide boundaries on slides with no audio? Shouldn't it allow me to do that?
