Power point 2010?

You can set up transitions to move on click. I would suggest you do this for any slides that might include text. You really can’t predict how long it takes for a person to read your slide.

I agree with @PhiNotPi. Make the slides advance on click, and the user can linger as long as he wants.

If the sound is related to the slide progress, then break that up so that each segment starts with the associated slide.

The slide show will be burned onto a CD and mailed with my resume. I’m not certain “advance on click” would work for that? It would work for a PowerPoint Show sent via e-mail.

You can also set the sound to start when a slide transition. As far as I can tell, the sound will keep playing until the sound file ends, or another slide transition tells it to either stop playing or change music.

Advance on click will still work. It doesn’t matter how it is saved, when you open the file, the commands to advance on click will still be there.

Thank you, I do know all about sound in PP2010. My question is,“approximately how many seconds does the average human feel comfortable with in viewing an image before it is changed to a new image?”

@Mermina Try 10 seconds if there is no text, maybe more if there is text.

Thank you for your responses.

Oh, yeah… I hadn’t even noticed: Welcome to Fluther.

Surely you’re going to test this file! Make it “advance on click”, burn it to disk and see that it works the way that it’s supposed to. I’m sure that it will. A file is a file, after all. It doesn’t care where it resides. (Maybe even better than a disk – unless you can print a really knock-their-socks-off label for it – would be a small USB thumb drive.)

Actually, now that I think about it, there are business card size rectangular disks big enough for one or two medium-size files. You could print one side as your contact information, burn the file/s to the other side.

But you absolutely have to test it before sending it out!

Now, that IS something NEW to me…a small USB thumb drive !

I wonder if my computer has the ability to transfer the info onto such a device ?!
Probably…am using WINDOWS XP.
Thanks for the idea.
Shall look into it, as I confess, know nothing about it.
Shall be grateful for any more info regarding same.

In the meantime, am coordinating slides to the WAV music file,
creatively changing slides every 7 to 10 seconds
with hopes the “they” will be intrigued enough to watch
MORE than once…
and hire me on my merits !
