How do I get a slide to pause?

Question

I have a slide with four buttons on it, each that will jump
to different places in the slideshow. My problem is I can't figure
out how to get the slide to pause long enough to wait for someone
to click on a button. Is there a "pause" setting somewhere? I can
see I can add a quesiton slide, but it seems as if it wants me to
choose from a variety of questions, instead of just letting me put
in buttons and have it wait.

Thanks!

Of course, now I see. I'm sorry to bother you with such a basic question. I fear I'll have a few more like this before my project is completed.

I looked everywhere in the help document. I'm sure it was right in front of me.

Thanks so much for the fast response!

Hi bobmcinnisYour question seems quite odd to me. Why? Because a Buttonobject by its very nature should be pausing the slide. If youdouble-click the Buttons and examine the properties, look at theOptions tab. In the Timing area should be a check box labeled"Pause after". I'm guessing that for some reason your buttons don'thave this selected.Change that setting and see if things improve for you.Cheers... Rick
