Thanks for the clarification. I think when I tried that previously I thought it wasn't working because i was trying to preview it with the play button in the slide transition sidebar. And then I ended up applying to all slides. I just followed your instructions and it worked as you indicated. Looking forward to potential enhancements for this feature. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
