I am trying to find out what I am doing wrong with my Powerpoint presentation. I have an text box object that I selected and animated with the 'float in' effect. When I run my presentation, I have to press the space bar twice to advance to the next slide with the animation. Otherwise, everything works fine. What am I doing wrong that I cannot advance to the next slide with just one spacebar? If my slide does not have an animation it advances with just one press of the spacebar.

Thanks in advance.

You need one space / click to run the animation and then a second to move to the next slide. That's just how it works. One click can't do both (though you can fake it with duplicate slides)
