[Solved] Animation without clicking

Post by revhamlin1 »

I have made my presentation on Open Office Impress. the transitions are great, the backgrounds are great, but the animation I have added to my text boxes will not move in the presentation unless I click my mouse. I need this presentation to loop and run continuously without me having to be there to click anything. How do I do this?

See the Impress User Guide page 195 - 203.
In the Tasks pane, choose Custom Animation (Figure 173)

Starting an animation effect

You have three choices for starting an animation effect:
On click —the animation does not start until you click the mouse.
With previous—the animation runs at the same time as the previous animation.
After previous—the animation runs as soon as the previous animation ends.
