Normally you would move from slide to slide in a PowerPoint presentation by clicking the mouse button. An alternative is to configure PowerPoint to advance to the next slide after a specified amount of time. For example, you can have PPT progress to the next slide after 2 minutes.

To configure automatic timings in PPT 2003, open up your presentation and switch to Normal view. Select the slides you want that automatic timing to apply to. From the Slide Show menu, click Slide Transitions. Under the Advance slide section, click Automatically after and use the arrows to specify the amount of time before moving to the next slide. You can apply the automatic timing to all slides in your presentation by clicking the Apply to All Slides button.
