I just want to be able to find out how long the slieshow is so I can label it
properly on a disc..... without having to sit and watch it and time it myself!
Please help!
 
There are hi-tech ways, lo-tech ways and no tech ways.

Personally, I would recommend the no-tech way. Look at your watch, start
the show, let it run, when it is done, check your watch again. It sounds
stupid, but this is, by far, the easiest method

You can create a macro that will add the automatic advance times, taking
into account the animation times that may delay the advancing, and have the
macro spit out a result in much less time than running the show -- but
writing and debugging the macro will take longer than 99% of the shows you
might need to time.

You could also write a macro that would automate the first method (Slideshow
end time - SlideShow Start Time = Show Time). Or install my logging add-in
(http://billdilworth.mvps.org/Add-ins.htm#Timber) to record these times.

I vote for Casio.
