Power point project won't move to the next slide

I create a project with several power point slides and then some automation and then slides again. The automation created within captivate moves from slide to slide. But the power point slides don't move to the next slide automatiacally. I have to click on next to make them move. I looked in the manual and can't find a source to tell me what to do with the slides to make them move automatically (like a slide show would be).  Any suggestions?

Hi there
When you import a PPT, you have two options. One option allows the PPT to just play through. The other option inserts a Click Box object on slides that prevents the slide from moving forward until clicked by the user. The choice is made in the dialog.
The default is On mouse click. After your slides arrive, the timeline looks like this:
To allow the slide to move forward, delete the Click Box.

  • Itunes only plays the selection over and over again. It won't move to the next song.

    I have an iphone GS3 and it works fine other than in itunes. I can select any song and it palys that song over and oveer again and won't move on to play the next sone. I have rebooted several times but nothing helps. I see nothing in the general settings that would account for this. Can anyone help?

    You have repeat on.
    Have a look at the manual.  it will help you learn how to use the iphone.

    Play a song. Tap the screen. Tap the repeat icon until it is white = off.

  • Why CTI won't move to the next gap ?

    Hi all experts,
    I wanna make sure that all my clips are aligned next to each other without gap. I purposely leave a small gap between clip 8 & 9 and move my CTI to the left & placed on clip 2 (ie sceond from the left)
    So I test the function Sequence > Goto Gap > Next in Sequence but the CTI doesn't move !
    Why doesn't the CTI move to the right at the gap between clip 8 & clip 9 ?
    Any ideas ?
    Thanks

    Next/Previous in Sequence only work if there is a gap across all tracks in a sequence, both video and audio. Instead, try Next/Previous in Track and make sure all (or some) of your tracks are targeted in the track headers.
    Ok thanks I will give it a try. Cheers

  • How do I stop the Cp from advancing automatically to the next slide?

    I'm using Windows NT and Adobe Captivate 4. 
    Until now, I've been creating demos in Cp4 where the movie file just continues to the next slide automatically.  Now I'm making the Cp files more interactive and would like to know how to make the movie not advance to the next screen automatically.  In other words, I'd like the user to have to click the Next button to move to the next slide. 
    Thank you.

    Hi there
    You do this by inserting a Click Box or a Button object on each slide. Either of these objects will typically pause the slide until clicking the object or another action makes it proceed.

  • On slide No. 13 of my Keynote presentation, I have varous pictures that go through automatically just as I programmed them, but if I I want to get by clicking to the next slide , it does not let me. How can I program so when I want goes to next slide?

    On slide No. 13 of my Keynote presentation, I have varous pictures that go through automatically just as I programmed them, but if I I want to get by clicking to the next slide , it does not let me. How can I program so when I want goes to next slide?

    Keynote is programmed to execute all of the effects in a build sequence before it will move to the next slide.
    If you want tobe able to move to the next slide at any time in a sequence of builds, you will need to set all of the builds on that slide to:  "on click". You will then need to execute each build by pressing the space bar or click the left mouse button for each object.

  • Pause button with imported power point project

    Hi
    I imported a power point project and published it in flash swf, and when I play a slide (in flash) and try to pause the play it does not work and  it continues to '
    play until the end of the slide and then it stops and when I click it continues to the next slide,
    How could I make the play pause the play,  when I click on the pause button (see attached snapshot)
    1- using captivate 5
    2- ppt 2003
    3- output: flash swf
    Appreciate any help

    Hello Lilybiri
    Thank you for your patience with me and I will attach 5 snapshots (for higher resolution, right click on the image and choose open with I.E. or you could zoom in the page)
    You also asked me about the click box; yes I inserted click boxes in only 2 slides (example: slide 3), as a test, in the hope of making the pause button work but it did not do the trick, you also asked about the image in the background, it is an image and not a looping video or animation.
    following are the 5 snapshots (if they do not fit in this message I'll attach them to other following messages):
    Many thanks

  • I exchanged my battery-challenged Ipad 1 for a refurbished model, and it won't move from the first page. . .what gives?

    I exchanged my battery-challenged Ipad 1 for a refurbished model, and the new model won't move from the first page, which shows the battery charger pointing toward an Itunes logo.  It has a full battery charge. . .what gives?

    It's been so long since I activated an iPad original model, and I am assuming that it needs to be activated. If that's not the problem, then you need to restore the iOS software.
    Eject the iPad, turn the iPad off, quit iTunes, restart you computer - then restart the iPad and connect it to your computer and see if iTunes launches on it's own. If it doesn't, then launch it yourself. If iTunes does not guide you through the activation process, I assume that you have to restore the software.
    Click on the iPad name on the left sidebar of iTunes. If you don't see the sidebar, go to View>Show Sidebar from the menu at the top. Then you should see the iPad under the devices heading. After you click on the iPad name, click on the Summary Tab at the top of the iTunes window on the right. Then Click on Restore.
    I'm hoping that starting the process over again activates the iPad rather than having to restore the device, but see what happens.

  • I have a MacBook Air 13 , mid 2009 & am trying to get it to show power point on a projector, I have the correct plug. Do I have to pst some keys to fire up the projector ? Kevin

    I have a MacBook Air 13 , mid 2009 & am trying to get it to show power point on a projector, I have the correct plug. Do I have to push some keys to fire up the projector ? Kevin

    The short answer is no. You will, however need to fire up the projector manually, and then change the input for the projector (if it hasn't already) to that of the computer. Once the projector is fired up and displaying an image of the screen of your computer, simply start the powerpoint as you normally would, since the projector will mirror your screen. If you will be talking for long periods of time without pressing any keys, or advancing the presentation, you might want to change the energy saver preferences to stop the computer from going to sleep as fast as it would. Does all this help?
    Best of luck!

  • Macbook 2008. Did an erase and install from install disk that came with the mac but now it won't move pas the Apple logo with spinner.

    My Macbook was running slow and kept giving me error codes so I figured the easiest thing to do would be to erase it and do a fresh install. But now, after installing with the disk 1, it won't move past the grey Apple logo screen.
    I've done disk repair and verified and there seems to be no problems.
    Any suggestions?
    thanks

  • Is there a way to link text fields, so when you reach the end of one line it moves to the next?

    I often use Acrobat Pro to create forms, whether it be from an existing document or from scratch, and this has always irritated me.  I know you can create a text field and select the Multi-line option; however, this is not what I am looking to do.  I have a form that has a Yes or No Radio Button, then below it says "If yes, please explain:" followed by 3 lines to respond.  When I run it through the Form Creator, it places three text fields on the response lines - as it should.  The first line is shorter because of the text, which is why I cannot use the Multi-line option.  So is there a way to link these three text fields, so that when I reach the end of the first line it stops and automatically moves to the next? 
    Here is a picture of what I am looking at:

    These types of lines are a left-over from printed forms. There's no reason
    to keep using them if your form is digital.
    The best approach is to combine the fields to a single multiline field, and
    get rid of the first line. Trying to link text fields together is very
    tricky. I haven't yet to see it done properly.

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one. See the following document for instructions:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

  • What is the keyboard shortcut to move to the next sheet in Numbers.

    What is the keyboard shortcut on a Macbook Pro to move to the next sheet in the Numbers application. Based on my search of the internet, I have tried fn+command+arrow up, and it does not work. I have tried every other combo I could think of or that was suggested on the internet, but to no avail. Is there a keyboard shortcut if just using the keyboard of a MacBook Pro?

    There use to be a shortcut key, but I think they killed it with the last update. I haven't been able to find one that works. Hopefully someone here can settle this.

  • Can I use action build to fade one table row as I move to the next row in the table?

    I have built a table with 6 rows.  Right now,I am building the table row by row when I play the slide. Is there a way to fade or dissolve one row when I move to the next row in the table? I want to be able to de-emphasize the row I just discussed when I move to the next row in the table. I can fade the entire table by invoking that action but I do not seem to be able to use this action one row at a time. Thanks for your comments and assistance.

    you will have to use a workaround to get the exact effect you described
    create a table with out any text
    use text tool to add text and position in each table cell
    select the text boxes( command click) in the first row and group them (arrange > group)
    use a, build in, to display text and then a, build out, to remove it
    repeat the above for the other rows
