Importing PowerPoint - slides advancing automatically

Hi Scott,

did you also alter the advance via the little cog wheel ?

 Hope it helps

as Geert says the trigger being deleted does not change the behaviour

in storyview click a slide ctrl+a and change them all in one go

This saved my life just now, thank you! Sometimes it's the simplest things that throw you off!

Yikes Rebekah! Glad this older thread is still helping users out. Thanks for popping in to share. I agree though, easy to overlook little things. Extra eyes are so helpful sometimes :)

Wow, this was great. I am just starting my first storyline file from an import, and I deleted the trigger that generated advance slide when timeline ends but it still wouldn't stop.  This is what I needed to do as well.  Never noticed this existed before. :)  Thanks for old posts!

So glad to hear that this was able to help you out as well Teresa :)

Precisely why we like to keep them around! Such a wealth of knowledge.

Ha...Just helped me too from scratching my scalp right off figuring it out.   Don't import PPT often or use that slide setting often enough to remember it's there.

I understand Drew :) 

Glad you've kept that scalp intact and thanks for chiming in to let us know that this helped you out as well.

Anyone know of a way to change the default so that slides imported from powerpoint do not create this trigger? It would be great if we didn't have to delete that from every slide.

Hi Larry,

While there's not a way to change the default, you can easily change this by selecting all your slides in story view (select one and press CTRL+A) and then adjust the properties within the bottom right-hand corner window to advance slide By user.
