Can't Decrease the Total Display Time

Thanks Kandi - I was able to get the timeline fixed. See attached story file.

As to *why* the problem occurred in the first place, I suppose it's ultimately the same reason that most issues occur: some type of human error committed without recognizing what had happened.

One reason why the timeline wouldn't reduce to less than 3 min., 38.25 sec. is that there were two objects (the wall and the TV; see timing01) which were *not* set to "show until end" (of the slide; see show_to_end).  Both objects had no time limits, so if you opened the Timing for the object (see timing00), you could adjust that to whatever you need it to be - I set these to 1 min., 38 sec.

You can set the timing of the objects and elements to whatever you need, of course, but if you see the problem again, I would check the timing of any object that is not flagged as "show to end." 

Good luck! Looks like a great project!
