One mouse click vs 2 mouse clicks

[dshore108]

I have a powerpoint presentation with only about a dozen slides. Halfway thru the presentation the slides require 2 mouse clicks to advance instead on one. I have tried applying "advance on mouse click" to all slides..but still have difficulties applying a global "one mouse click".
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Dawn

For kicks and grins...rearrange the slides (but some of the 2 click slides in the front etc)...see what happens to the pattern. If the slides that need two clickds now, still need two clicks...then there is a good chance it is a setting...
Also, try putting the 2 click slides in a completely new presentation and see what happens. Let us know...
Any chance you can share the presentation with us?

Dawn,

Chances are the 'troublesome' slide has an extra 'return/enter' within one of the text placeholders.

e.g. if it's a bullet list... go to the last word in the last bullet. Move the cursor after the last word... then hold down the 'delete' key. This will delete any extra characters (returns/enters).

Cheers
