slide transition

I had a slide that has a text box and an image on it. When the user clicks
the mouse, the image and the text box do a fade. At that point I have to
click again to go to the next slide. What should I do to automatically go to
the next slide after the custom animation is done?
 
Is the slide transition set to advance automatically, or on mouse click? Go
to Slide Show > Transition to check it.
 
There's no transition. A least as far as I know. I want to click the slide,
the image does the same spinning away transition it does now (leaving an
empty slide on the screen) and then do to the next slide without me having
to click again.
 
Then you need to add a transition. That is what PPT is waiting for. The
default transition is no effect, move On Mouse Click. Since you want it to
move after time, you need to tell it that. SInce you can set this slide by
slide, you don't have to worry about messing up the transitions for the
other slides. Just be sure that you apply to selected slide, not to all
slides.

I'm doing something wrong. I'm not sure which slide I should set to "no
transition" but I right clicked both and then clicked Slide transition. Both
say no transition. What might I be doing wrong?
 
No transition means no "special effect". That's fine. What you want to do
is look further down the Task Pane for the "Advance Slide" settings.
Uncheck "On mouse click" and check "Automatically". Leave the timing set to
0 and see if that results in what you want.
 
0 makes it go away as soon as it appears. I want the slide to appear, the
user clicks and the image and text on the screen disappear with an effect
and THEN the slide transitions to the next one. What I get now if the image
and text on the screen disappear the way I want but I have to click a second
time to make the slide disappear and the next one display. Is it possible to
do that?
 
Nope - you can transition based on time or by click but you can't transition
based on a custom animation completing.

Hello,

PowerPoint does not have the specific capability that you are looking for.

If you (or anyone else reading this message) have suggestions about how
transitions and animation effects should interact with each other in
PowerPoint (without having to resort to VBA or add-ins), don't forget to
send your feedback (in YOUR OWN WORDS, please) to Microsoft at:

http://register.microsoft.com/mswish/suggestion.asp

As with all product suggestions, it's important that you not just state
your wish but also WHY it is important to you that your product suggestion
be implemented by Microsoft. Microsoft receives thousands of product
suggestions every day and we read each one but, in any given product
development cycle, there are only sufficient resources to address the ones
that are most important to our customers so take the extra time to state
your case as clearly and completely as possible.

IMPORTANT: Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of
suggestions).
