PowerPoint 2007: Automatically Advance Slides During Presentation
Posted by Mitch on Mar 22, 2008 under Office Tips | 19 CommentsWant to automate all of the slides in PowerPoint 2007? Here’s how.
1. Click Home then click somewhere in the left Slides pane.
2. Hold down Ctrl and press the A key. All of the slides should show as highlighted on in the pane.
3. Click the Animations tab. Over to the left you can select Automatically After and set time you wish to display each slide.
Now your slides should change to the next one automatically.
If anyone is still having troubles, follow Lim Chin Kah’s advice. Worked like a charm!
THANKYOU! this helped me with everything, i give this page 10/10!
Thank you for having this page up. It answered my questions exactly!
Thanks!
I tried all of these and non worked. Why is Microsoft so messed up? Never had any trouble with Office 2003. I hope Apple clean their clocks!
If anyone has any other idea? Thanks!
wow you did a great job this really help thanks very much
from IL USA
thanks leeza well done
yeh>>it works,,but it doesnt save when you come to work on it again!!!
Duhhh…at last I figure it out. And I feel real dumb. I needed under the “effect option” to also check to start playing “from last position.”
Halleluja!!
Okay, Lim Chin Kah, so far your instructions have helped me the most. Unfortunately, with each new slide the embedded sound starts from the beginning instead of carrying it over all of the slides. How can I get the sound to play continuously over all of the slides.
Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks.
I’m embarrassed to say how many hours I’ve spent working on this.
Do you have a sound file embedded in it?
If you do have a sound file embedded, do this:
a. Go to the 1st slide where you have the sound file embeded.
b. Select Animation
c. Select Custom Animation
d. Click on the Sound icon inside the slide.
On the right side of the screen, click on the pull-down menu for the sound object.
e. Select Effect Option
f. Under the “Stop Playing: After”, enter 99.
g. Click OK.
Hope you can understand the above. It is difficult to explain without pictures embedded.
I dont know why it works but it works. It is the same solution for the previous version of PPT. Microsoft is nuts!!
regards,

What happened to the revision and reviewer toolbars in 2007 how do you track other peoples change without going to every slide for comments please help!
That didn’t work for me unfortunately. Help!
wth why wasnt that easier. thanks leeza.
For auto slide advance, follow all of these steps and you won’t have a problem
1.Select the animations tab.
Under Advanced slide;
- deselect ‘On Mouse Click’
-select ‘Automatically After’
-use the scroll button to select the length of time
-click on ‘Apply To All’
2.Select the Slide Show Tab.
Click ‘Set Up Slide Show’
-under ‘Show Options’ select ‘Loop continuously until ‘Esc’
-under ‘Advance Slides’ select ‘Using Timings if Present’
-click Okay
3. Check ‘Use Rehearsed Timings’(under the Slide Show Tab)
4.Start Slide Show by clicking on ‘From Beginning ‘ or ‘From Current Slide’
Hope this helps!
Thanks, Guys, if you actually want to have the slide effect you need to put the other slide to start automatically by making the first animation to “start with the other”
Either in preview mode or running the .ppsx directly, my show never automatically changes slides. And for grins and giggles, I have adjusted to change slides every 5 seconds!
Does anyone know how to make just ONE slide of a presentation repeat automatically (its a slide full of pictures that fade in and out using animations) until I end the slide show?
I’ve tried this using the “set up slide show” dialogue box and clicking on the “loop continuously until esc” option but it doesn’t seem to be doing anything, at the end of the slide it just stops and doesn’t repeat again.
Any ideas?
I couldn’t get it to work in preview mode, but I can get it to work when you actually launch the true presentation. Is it possible that’s what you’re doing?
Tried this and others…still having problems with auto slide advance.
Has there been an update for ppt 2007?
