Advancing to next item or slide

[punkster]

Some of my slides advance on a mouse click and some on enter. I need them to
all advance on the mouse click. How can this be changed.

Go to the Slide Show menu and choose Slide Transition. Check the box under
Advance Slide that says "On mouse click."

Slides set to transition "on mouse clcik" will also transition on enter (and
page right,down arrow, pageup, N key and space!)

The only way to ONLY use a mouse click is to add a transparent full screen
shape over everything else on the slide, set it to hyperlink to next slide on
click and then in slide show set up show choose "browsed at a kiosk"

Did that answer the question / help?

The 'on mouse click' was already selected.

The response from John was over my head. I do very little work with
Powerpoint.

I did fiddle around with the settings and it all seems to be working with
the mouse now. I have no idea what I did. Thanks for the help.

I tried the solution of adding a transparent layer with an advance on mouse
click. Trouble is I also need to backup. Is there a way to have next and
prior navigation without adding special navigation buttons.

I have used the full screen mode in the past. I want to navigate from a
central screen to some more detail sections then return to the menu. I then
place "goto" slide at the end of each detail section. The "goto" is
constructed by placing a transparent navigation button that is set to go to
the navigation screen on mouse click or on mouse over. everything works well
except that the mouse goes to sleep and then the mouse over does not work
untill the mouse is moved.
