Slide jumping to next slide
My slides are jumping to the next slide at the end of the audio in spite of the fact that I have triggered it only to move to the next slide when the student clicks 'next'. I have removed the default trigger that instructs the slide to move without the 'next' click but it continues to jump. How do I stop it from doing that?

Hi Mary
if you can share the .story file someone can take a look and see what's happening...could be a trigger or slide property but hard to say without seeing it. Let us know which slide numbers you are having trouble with.
Thank you for your reply.
I managed to root out the problem myself. I had already removed all the default triggers from the ‘project variables’ and in the ‘player’ dialogue. I clicked on the slide properties icon dialogue and clicked on the ‘change slide by player’ option but was still confounded. Ultimately I went through each slide one by one, left clicked on the slide itself and in that dialogue box they were all defaulted to ‘automatically’. So I changed the to ‘by player’ and now it seems to work.
I would have thought the dialogue boxes were all synced to each other.
In any case, I’ll remember the process when it happens again.
Thank you again,
Mary
Hi Mary
glad to hear you got it sorted and all the best with your project.
For future, you can select all the slides in Story View and bulk change that option
I would have thought the dialogue boxes were all synced to each other.
Actually, every slide takes the properties that are the defaults when it is created. The only way to synch the dialog boxes is to first select them all as Wendy suggested.
Thanks to you all. I can see that Wendy's recommendation is the easier way to do the job. Fortunately I only have 24 slides in my project so it didn't take me too long to work my way through them individually. Next project I'll be better equipped.
