Okay. You're applying animation effects to your slides. Animation effects
are used to animate objects on slides, not to bring in the slides
themselves. For the slides themselves you use slide transitions. Go to Slide
Show/Slide Transition and you'll be in the right place. I bet you have
"automatically 'after xx seconds'" checked there.

You can do the slide transition stuff in slide sorter view, too, so you can
apply the setting to selected slides at the same time. Just select the
slides in slide sorter view and then do the transition setting; it will
apply to only the slides you've selected.

Nah, we have a "no stupid" policy in this group. :-)

Seriously, you're doing fine. You may not be able to post a new question
because of your popup blocker or something. (Not sure why it would've let
you do it before, though.) Which page are you accessing from? There are a
bunch of different ways to get here, and some seem to be a little more
user-friendly than others, although they should all be pretty similar. What
happens if you click the "new" button? (Click right on the word New.) You
should see a drop-down that gives you the option of Question, Suggestion for
Microsoft, or General Comment.
