I'm using Powepoint from Office 2004 for the Mac. I'm creating a
powerpoint presentation made to be a self-running show. Each slide also
has a sound file to provide narration.

For some reason, I'm *having a problem with my first slide. At one
point, the slide's narration (sound file) stops before it has completed
and the remaining animated objects all just appear at once rather than
displaying with their assigned effects and timings. I thought maybe the
automatic slide advance was just set to advance too soon and cutting
everything off, but that isn't the case. If I add more time to the
setting for the automatic advance, the audio still stops and the
animated objects still don't display correctly, I just have a longer
gap before the presentation advances to the next slide.

I have found, though, that if I set the slide to advance by mouse click
only and not automatically, then everything plays correctly. But since
this is a self-running show, I don't want the viewer to have to click
to advance that one slide. All the other slides in my presentation
advance automatically without any problems.

Have you ever come across anything like this? I'd appreciate any advice
you could offer. Thanks.
