From: SJMP on 7 May 2008 12:10 When we get to the slide that is playing a movie you have to click the movie for it to start. Is there a way for it to just Play when the slide comes up. No user action needed? Also - when the clip is over is there any way to automatically bring up the next slide? Thanks,

Choose "automatically" in this place and no user action is need. > Also - when the clip is over is there any way to automatically bring > up the next slide? No, I'm afraid not. Powerpoint doesn't recognize that the movie is over, because PPT doesn't play the movie. It hands over the action to the multimedia-system and waits for the next user action. -- Mit lieben Gr��en Pia Bork MVP Powerpoint http://www.ppt-faq.de http://www.office-training-muenchen.de
From: SJMP on 7 May 2008 14:56 Thanks Pia. Thats how it is configured now. there seems to be a delay when the slide comes up. Any way to make it start faster?

From: LVTravel on 7 May 2008 16:14 Not really to start it faster as PPT has to preload the movie into the player. The end of the movie is not detected by Power Point but you may be able to auto advance on time. Time the movie from the click until it is done. In Slide Transition (Click Slide Show, Slide Transition) at the bottom of the window that opens on the right side of the screen click the box under Automatically after under Advance slide. In the box below, click in the box and change the 00:00 to the time in minutes and seconds that it took the movie to play with an additional 5 seconds or so added to the amount. This may work for you as I have used this in the past and it worked for me to automatically advance to the next slide.
