Delay the Rolling Credits

  1. Set the Delay time to be 2 (or 3) seconds. This will allow the title to advance first, with a short delay before the rolling credits start to appear.

  2. Leave all the other settings as they are.

  3. Click the OK button.
Test your slide show by pressing the F5 keyboard shortcut or choose Slide Show > View Show from the menu.

Your rolling credits slide should perform just as in the animated example on page one of this tutorial. If you have chosen a different font type and/or size than I have used, you may need to make slight adjustments in the spacing between the credits.
