Is there a way to disable the timing feature to allow learners to navigate at their own pace? Right now, I'm taking the objects and extending them to 90 seconds hoping that's enough time for people to read the information on the slide.
Are you wondering whether you can disable auto-advance, so the slide advances only when the user clicks the "Next" button? The answer is yes.
It's in slide properties (found either by looking at slides in Story Mode or by right-clicking empty space on a slide in normal view and selecting "Slide Properties").
Not just the slide - but the objects. If I'm building triggers into the slide I don't want the timing to exist on any of the layers either. Thanks for the response - I'll check this out
Since you have triggers, how about adding next action to an existing trigger. Let everything on the slide be controlled by the user. When they are done reading they do the next action (click on an arrow, or whatever...)
I might be missing something here. I would set the slide properties to advance by user. In the timeline I would right-click the objects that you want to appear to the end of the slide and select show until end.

Triggers and layers? You didn't mention those before. What exactly are you trying to do?
I want to disable the timing function altogether so I don't have to work-around the feature by extending my objects.
