Next Slide Trigger Being Ignored
Jan 25, 2013

This is probably something simple but I'm having a problem. I have a simple silde which has 3 layers. The slide automatically moves from layer to layer (as I've set it up to do) perfectly but at the end of the slide I have a trigger (on the main slide not the layers) that requires the user to press the Next button to move to the next slide in the project. It all seems to be set up properly but when I preview the project the slide automatically moves to the next slide even if the user doesn't press the Next button. I can't see what I've done wrong. Any ideas please?

Paolo,
Could you share the slide so we can take a look? My first thought is that you may have the slide properties set to auto advance, and a slide level trigger to jump when user clicks next. This might cause what you're experiencing. If so, you'll want to remove the slide trigger to jump when timeline ends.
Hi Mike. Thank you for your email. I can't see that I've got auto advance set up. I've attached 3 slides to this email to have a look at. The slide in question is slide 1.2. any help would be greatly appreciated. It's probably something simple that I've messed up!
Sorry! I've attached the slides this time!
Paolo,
If you go into Story view and select the slide, you'll see that it's set to advance automatically. My guess is that you deleted the trigger to advance automatically. However, the global setting will still be there. So you'll need to change it as well. Just switch it to by user and it works great!

Thank you Mike! I've learnt something new today!
