QUESTION: Dear Masterviews,
I have a question relating PowerPoint: the day before a presentation I did various rehearsals, with the Rehearse Timings tool.
When I had finished, PowerPoint asked me whether to keep a record of this and I just answered yes without realizing what the implications would be.
When I now use the same presentation each slide comes up automatically after a few seconds, while I am still talking and without me clicking on it.
Is there a way to get rid of this?
Many thanks for your help.

ANSWER: Dear Joke,
thank you for your message.
The Rehearse Timings tool allows you to set slide timing while you rehearse a slide show.
PowerPoint automatically records the time spent on each slide. After you are finished, an alert box will appear asking if you would like to keep the recorded timings.
To get rid of these Rehearsed Timings and therefore control manually your slide show, if you have PowerPoint 2002, please do this:
- Go to the Slide Show Menu.
- Select "Set Up Show".
- Check "Manually" inside the Advance Slides box.
- Click OK.
