Hallo everybody, I'am unable to get "% of screen to show slide images" in Project Options/screen to work in PTE 5 Beta 2, with a new or an excisting PTE 4 show. If I set it to f.e. 90%, it will still show up as full screen in the preview. Whatever I seem to choose or check or uncheck in this "screen" tab, it still shows fit to screen. The same show in PTE 4, works fine. Am I doing something wrong in PTE 5 or is it a "bug". I am using Win XP home, sp2, an ATI Radeon 9800 videocard 128 mb, and a IIyama 19 inch Vision Master Pro 454, on 1280 by 1024, 32 bits screen resolution. I hope somebody has the answer. Thanks in advance Eric

Thank you Isabel and Al, I didn't realize that changing the display time wíll not work in sync mode. I will now manualy shift the slides on the time line. I will certainly try your program, although I don't know much about Excel. Thanks again.

I am unable to synchronize my slide to the duration of the background music in a way I really like. My project consists of about 80 slides and 7 minutes of music. In “project options”, main tab, I mark “synchronize slideshow to music duration”. So far so good, now all the slides have the same duration and at the end of the music the show stops. But I want the last 9 slides to be displayed for a very short time (about 1 second) because these slides built up to form the words “The end” with one extra slide in front and after these letters. The other 71 slides have to be in sync with the rest of the music. One would think that this could be arranged in the “slide list” by clicking on the P and Customize slide. But this has no effect on the duration of the last 9 slides. In the “customize slide nr x”, on main tab, I mark “use own time preference” and give one second display time. The first and the last (of the 9 slides) have there own transition effect and are displayed a little bit longer, the others have no effect. What am I doing wrong? If on the other hand I use in “project options”, “main” tab , “customize synchronisation”, mark “customize synchr..( you set etc) I run into another problem. I click on “timed points”, “add arranged points” now all the slides (including the customized slides) display the same time. If a slide the last 9 slides closer to each other I get a big gap of time between slide 71 and 72. What I want is that slides 1 to 71 are equally divided over the remaining music duration without me having to slide each of the 71 slides to there correct position. Again what am I doing wrong?
