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

1. In the menu bar: “Slide Show” > “Set Up Show…”
2. In the “Advance slides” section select “Manually”

Real Fix:
Clear the timings completely!

1. Select all the slides
2. Right click a slide > “Slide Transition…”
3. In the “Advance slide” section uncheck “Automatically after”

Hope that saves people frustrations in the future
