Unwanted pause in preview

I have a slide with several text boxes that appear in 2 second intervals.

This is controlled via the timeline.

When I preview the slide it runs ok and then stops prior to the first text box appearing.

On some slides it works fine on others nothing.

I can see no difference between the slides. The text boxes are not hidden, when I preview through the timeline player everything works fine.

If I press play in the preview it continues ok. I just want to loose the pause!

Any ideas?

Many thanks V

    Post screenshots of the timeline to see the difference between one that pauses, and one that doesn't. By default Text Entry Boxes will pause at 1.5secs.

    Which preview do you use? Because 'Play Slide' (with play button in Timeline panel) or F3 is NOT a preview, it is only meant to be used for synchronizing reasons during editing. You need another preview mode, best one is In Browser (F12) or in HTML Browser (F11), it is closest to the situation after publishing.
