Single click slide show

[hxn]

Hi, I am using PP 2000 SR-1 for the first time. I have built a slide show of
34 slides, all containing a title and text, some with pictures. I have
animated every page so that on a single mouse click a slide opens and the
animation starts. The next mouse click advances to the next slide and the
animation starts, and so on. Single click - next slide, animation starts.
This happens on slides 1 - 4, but following that a single mouse click brings
up the next slide and I need to then click to animate the title, click to
animate each picture and click to animate the text. The content (Title 1,
Picture frame 2, Picture frame 3 & Text 4), settings ('Order & Timing' and
'Effects' in 'Custom Animation') for slide 4 (which works) and slide 5 (which
doesn't) are exactly the same.
If I delete slide 4 and run the show, slide 5 works!
Would some savvy person out there offer an explanation and solution that
allows me to click my mouse just 34 times to run this show from start to end.
TIA, hxn

Hmm, has been a long time since I last used PowerPoint 2000.
Go to the particular slide that you need to click to start the animation.
Click Slide Show > Custom Animation.
Under Order and Timings, set all effect with On mouse click to
automatically. Does it work?

Hi tohlz, thanks for your response but no this is not it, as I say, all the
settings on slide 4 and the others are identical, including 'automatically'
(and all set to 00:00 seconds)

Not sure of any solution. But I did delete the particular slide and re-do it
again instead. See if others have a better solution.
