Hi

I was at a work presentation. When the speaker opened PowerPoint the
PowerPoint presentation it kept on moving to the next slide automatically.

I don't believe the file was made to do this purposely

How could this have been stopped?

How could I have given the Slide Transition control back to the presenter?

Cheers Peter..

Hi,

2002 or 2003: Slideshow| Set up Show| Advance Slides| manually.
2007: Slideshow| Set up Slide Show button (on the Ribbon)| Advance Slides|
Manually

That will give the control back to the presenter.

You should avoid using "Advance Slide Automatically" and make it to advance
only on mouse click. I don't think there is some option that you can control
it at the time of slideshow. At the time of slide show, you can press pause
to avoid each slide advancing to next slide automatically, if you have set it
to advance automatically after some period.

Thanks,
Vinod
