Question

Prevent imported slides (powerpoint) from advancing when clicking on screen

I imported a group of 60 slides from powerpoint (pptx 2013) into my Captivate 9, however, I've noticed that by doing this, slides advance when I click anywhere on the screen even if I deleted the clickbox that I thought triggered this action. What I did was to disable this action directly in powerpoint and I didn't click "high fidelity" when importing into captivate. Nevertheless, by not clicking "high fidelity", the fonts of some slides get changed, so I need to click it. So, my question is, is there any way in which I can prevent the slides from advancing and having high fidelity clicked at the same time?

I will not repeat my criticsm of using PPT as start for an eLearning course. That import tries to mimick the ppt behavior as closely as possible. What were the other settings when importing the PPT slides?

Hi, Lilybiri, I agree with you about the use of ppt as a start.

These are the other settings.

You did set it up to 'Advance slide On mouse click'. If you choose the other option (auto) slides will play without needing any click, they will not advance to the next slide if you click.
