PowerPoint Using Slide timings

Slide Timings

Slide timing refers to the length of time that a slide appears on the screen. You can advance the slide show in one of two ways; automatic advance or manual advance. The automatic advance enables slides to move by itself, allowing each slide on the screen for the length of time you designate. The manual advance enables slides to move through the slide show with a mouse click or by pressing the space bar on the keyboard. Once you apply slide timings, you can rehearse them in Rehearse Timings.

Apply Slide Timings in Slide Sorter View

Click on the Slide Sorter View button.
The Slide Transition task pane appears.
Click once on the first slide and then select Slide Show > Slide Transition. In the Apply to selected slides area, you may choose the type of slide transition. In the Modify transition area, you may choose the speed and sound of the slide transition. In the Advance slide area, you may choose whether you want the slide to manually click (on mouse click) or automatically advanced (automatically after with a set time). Note: a mouse click always advances a slide, even if the timing is set.
The default will be to apply this transition and timing to the selected slide. However, if you wish to alter this setting, click Apply to Master or Apply to All Slides.

Rehearse Timings

The rehearsal feature lets you know how long your presentation takes and allows you to set the timings for each slide.
Select Slide Show > Rehearse Timings. The Rehearsal dialog box is displayed over your slide show.
The slide time begins running as soon as the first slide appears.
As soon as you feel that enough time has passed to adequately view or discuss the information on the slide, click the mouse or the Next button to select a new slide timing.
The Rehearsal box will display the timing for that particular slide as well as the timing for the total slide show .
If the time is inadequate, click the Repeat button , and then rehearse the slide again. To stop the slide rehearsal at any time, click the close button.
At the end of the slide rehearsal , a confirmation dialog box appears with the total time for the slide show.
Click Yes to keep the slide timings.
To use the slide timings that you set during the slide show rehearsal, select Slide Show > View Slide Show. PowerPoint runs through the slide show in the presentation window.
Select File > Save, to save your settings.
