Hi - Minor, but annoying issue here. Part way through my presentation my
slides have extra space between them when reviewing in Normal View. They
present fine and don't appear to have any formatting that the regularly
spaced ones don't. Just wondering how to eliminitate this extra space.

Thx

Not to sure what you mean by "Extra Space" Are you talking about transition
time in going from one slide to another? When you say Normal View. do you
mean the Edit mode?
 
Basically, in edit mode, while scrolling through, slides immediately follow
one another. At some point, I'm not seeing the next slide right away, instead
there's a gap about the size of a full slide in between.

Could you have (a maybe invisible) item way off slide?

Check by viewing at 25% or less and ctrl A

As in extra gray background like what appears around the slide?

Sounds as though you may have an object somewhere off the slide.
Go to the slide that produces this effect and hit TAB repeatedly.
This will select each shape in turn. When it jumps to one off screen, delete it
or move it onto the slide.
 
I tried that, nothing else on the slide, at 25% the slides in question do
appear lower in the screen than the 'normal' ones....

Check the slide master ... I tried to force this by putting something off-slide on a
master here but may have missed trying something that'd trigger it.

I am a complete newbie so I had recently experienced this very similar
problem. It almost drove me mad. This was the resulting find.
I had about 40 slides in my presentation and I kept getting this extra slide
appearing. Following many trials and errors, eventualy I went through each
slide separately dragging and holding and sliding each slide slightly *off*
to look under them. I then found the culprit half way through. I had put two
backgrounds on one slide and was working on the top slide. I removed the
underneath slide and all was perfect. Had I thought to look more closely in
the custom animations I may just have noticed the offending culprit.
Being a newbie some very easy mistakes made by me may not be in the minds of
you wonderful guys here on the newsgroup.

Forgive me if I have misunderstood the posters real problem. I am not too
good at explaining things. Thought my accidental mistake may be similar.

Thanks all, on second look (more like 55th!), there was an empty object
floating under the slides and I had been duplicating the original offender!
Thanks again, I can sleep tonight!
