Question

How do you prevent slide animation from advancing when the slide is clicked?

So I imported a Power Point project with animations into Adobe Captivate 7.  When I click on the slide, the animation jumps and advances automatically.  Sometimes the slide will just jump to the end of the slide when clicked.  This is extremely frustrating because we can't have the users skipping the slide content. 

I have seached through the Adobe forums as much as possible and other people have had this same question in the past 5 months but no one at Adobe has been able to resolve the issue as far as I have found.

Note: I did uncheck 'On Mouse Click' and either this option isn't being imported correctly, there is some option in Captivate that i'm missing, or this is a bug in 7.

Please help.

Normally this means that you set up the timing of those slides in PPT to be advanced by clicks, and Captivate is respecting that choice. Can you please check how the timing of objects, animations in PPT has been set up?

On Mouse click deactivated means only that the slide will advance when it is finished, instead of waiting on a click of the user, but it doesn't change the original behavior of the PPT-slides.

This is a user forum. Sometimes staff members of Adobe pop in.

Thanks for the ino.  I'm not sure I completely understand what you are saying though.

From what I read, 'On Mouse Click' prevents a user from clicking a slide in mid-animation to advance to the next slide. 

I don't see any other options in Powerpoint or under the Powerpoint animation section that refers to allowing you to control the animation by clicking it.

Do you know exactly how you would control this in a Powerpoint slide?

Thank you.
