Ever got annoyed or even had a real bad presentation due to rehearsed timings causing your presentation to automatically advance to the next slide? Well I have so there is the workaround and the real fix. This is tested to work in PowerPoint 2003
Workaround:
Disable advancing slides in a slide show
- In the menu bar: “Slide Show” > “Set Up Show…”
- In the “Advance slides” section select “Manually”
Real Fix:
Clear the timings completely!
- Select all the slides
- Right click a slide > “Slide Transition…”
- In the “Advance slide” section uncheck “Automatically after”

THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!!!!!!!!! :))))))))
@Corina I’m glad it helped you =) Rehearsed PowerPoint Timings actually killed one presentation I did with friends. We were panicking and pressing back alot because we spoke slower than our rehearsed rendition =$
This is really helpful. Thanks a lot.
