A key 10 image slide with build in transitions automatically advances to my next slide regardless of what I do--

Thank you so much for your troubleshooting help!

However, 1) My Keynote is set to Normal 2) The Start Transition is set to On Click and 3) I have not made a recorded slide show, yet I'm still at a standstill on my issue.

My collage slide this way: I begin on my static Title slide in my presentation. Upon clicking my title slide (slide #1), my collage slide (slide #2) launches and over the course of about 40 seconds, 10 different still photos begin appearing with a 4 second duration time between each still photo until all 10 photos create a cool collage effect on the screen.

Once my 10th still photo appears, completing the collage, I want the completed collage slide to stay on the screen until I click to advance the next slide.

However, for some reason, once that 10th photo appears for 4 seconds thus completing the collage slide, the whole slide then automatically advances to my next slide (slide #3) in the presentation.

What I'm trying to do is have the collage slide stay on the screen after that 10th still photo appears for as long as I need. Then, and only then, do I want to click to advance from the collage slide to my next slide (slide #3).

Hope that helps a bit and thank you in advance for any clarity you can help me with on this! I appreciate it.

Hi Gary,

I've kept playing with every option, and I think I've found a solution.

By changing my title slide (slide#1) Transition from "Automatically" to "On Click" that seems to have oddly impacted whether my second slide--my collage slide--automatically advanced to the third slide after all the still images on the collage slide had populated.

It doesn't seem very intuitive that choosing how a previous slide transitions to a second slide would effect how long the second slide stays on the screen, but that seems to have worked for now.

Anyway, thanks again for your feedback. It helped me cross a few possible issues off my troubleshooting list. Much appreciated.

Thank you!
