    This was exactly what I needed!! I've been watching so many tutorials to find a workaround to the 59 second max time that were ridiculously complicated or ugly. This is just perfect.

    Just to help anyone else in the future. Instead of dragging the timer to make it longer, you can just right click on the rectangle timer in the animation pane, and click timing. You can manually set any time there by just typing in the time.

    You'll need to insert a slide transition which includes a delay that's the same as the length of your timer. That would be the easiest option I think.

  • @TheTechTrain

    @TheTechTrain

    6 жыл бұрын

    You wouldn't be able to do it with this method as this is just a single slide animation. Your best approach would either be to use the Rehearse Timings tool and record the slide transitions and animation timings so that your presentation always lasts exactly the right amount of time, or perhaps use VBA to create a macro which updates the elapsed time on the screen. I actually wrote a VB.Net app which displays a small clock in front of all windows on the screen which I use in my lessons for timing tasks, or just seeing what the current time is when a presentation is running full screen and there are no clocks in the room.
