Using the set timing feature
By default, PowerPoint is set to advance from one slide to the next when you click your mouse, use the down arrow key, or press the Page Down key. However, you can change this default setting and program your PowerPoint presentation slides to advance at specified time intervals. In PowerPoint, this feature is called set timing.
To set timing:
- Select Slide Show
Slide Transition from the main menu. - Select View Slide Sorter.
- Select all slides using your mouse.
- Deselect On mouse click in the Slide Transition task pane.
- Select Automatically After.
