Custom Slide Transition Times

[lettermail]

Hi there,

I am wondering if anyone has experience with changing the global
variables for slide transition lengths.

I would like to be able to set a longer transition period than what is
provided -- maybe even do something like specify a time -- so 10
seconds or something like that.

Please note I am asking specifically about the slow / medium / fast
options for how long a slide transitions from one to the next. Not how
long each slide is displayed before transitioning. I am guessing it is
somewhere in the VBA code, but I see no global features when I load
the editor, just macros.

This is in PPT 2005 (11.5).

Many thanks,
lm

I don't believe that can be done even with VBA... and even if it can, not
all transitions have the same speed settings.

As an alternative you might try using the Animation Effects. that may give
you what you're looking for.

BTW: You indicated v.11.5 so I'm assuming that "2005" is a typo , but if
your installation of Office is at 11.5.0 you're missing some important
updates. Office 2004 should be at 11.5.4, so you might want to use Help>
Check for Updates to get current -- especially if you're using the Leopard
flavor of OS X.

Not possible, unfortunately. In VBA, transition speed can take one of
three values, essentially fast, medium or slow. It doesn't allow
specifying values in any other units.
