Listens: me rehearsing stupid speech

powerpoint

Yes, yes, I'm running the evil of Microsoft Office on my mac. So, any of you lot know PowerPoint? I can't imagine that it's much different on Mac, so I'm in need of some help.

I've set up a slide show thingy, almost entirely picture-based. I've set a background (they don't give you much choice on colours, huh?) And now I'm gonna set my timings with the 'rehearse timings' doowhap. Thing is, between every picture it seems to want to insert just the background, blank, so to move things on I have to hit the mouse twice. One gets rid of the picture before, then I get the background blank, then I get the next picture.

I know I can just double click and it'll work ok, but this is really annoying. I figured I'd be able to have the slides fade out/in sort of simultaneously, or at least have one fade off and the other come straight on.

Also, the two or three that have titles, the titles show up and then I have to click AGAIN for the picture. This is dead annoying.

If anyone out there can help, before tomorrow morning :) then I'd be dead grateful.
