Since I upgraded to 5.11 I am unable to create a program that will run manually. They all advance by themselves... Creating a show that advanced manually in the previous version was a no brainer... Please let me know exactly what to set in Project Options. I have tried everything without success... Do I set Time interval for new slides to zero? Do I have to click on Set for existing slides? Do I have to select any slides?

This Project Options box with 5.11 has changed and I am very confused.

Thanks all. Artie, aka Mr. Famous Bird Photographer (www.birdsasart.com)

Set time for slides to maximum (5000Sec?) and click on Set For Existing.

Download the latest version, v5.52. You will find that on the Project Options...Main tab there is a tick box "Wait for a key press or mouse click to show next slide". This will give you the same control that you previously had in earlier versions.

Hi Artie,

Also remember that you have a navigation bar available with some great options so you can, for example, set the navigation bar to fade out after a time period so it won't interfere with your images then come back when the mouse is moved, etc. You can change the size, position, colors, type of icons for slide advancement, etc., it's very nice. You can also just use the right and left arrows to navigate and if you don't move the mouse the navigation bar can remain hidden - likewise you can use a PowerPoint controller for same. It's also possible to program a menu on a particular slide then use a hidden frame or area of the screen to actuate it so you can immediately "jump" to a particular slide. There are lots of options with the new version. Email me if you have specific questions and I can help you get going:

Just click the box as Peter Suggests. Don't be afraid to just download the latest version, it will not affect the previous one you are using.

Best regards,

Lin
