How to eliminate timeline from powerpoint import?

Aug 04, 2014

Hi! I am a new user. I just tried to import a powerpoint presentation for the first time. The powerpoint did not have any animation. After importing, I can see that each slide is set to display for 5 seconds and then advance. I want learners to use the next button to proceed. I thought I figured out why, but still advancing automatically. I saw that each slide had trigger set to advance to next slide when timeline ends and also a trigger to go to next slide when user clicks. I thought taking out the first trigger from each slide would solve problem, but has not. Can you please tell me how to restrict slide advancement to user clicking next. Thanks!

Good Afternoon, Kathy.

Here's a Forum Thread that discusses the behavior you are experiencing, and here's how to customize the properties for any slide in your story, including how the slide advances, what happens when users revisit it, and which player controls are visible.

Please let us know if you need anything else, and have a great day!
