How to trigger to the next slide after animation plays in PPT?

I have a slide in powerpoint where I want to click once to initiate an animation. After the animation is complete, I want it to transition to the next slide without have to click a second time. Is there an option or workaround like this?  Maybe in the "Timing" section "After Previous"...but to the next slide?

Here is the sequence below:

  1. Viewer lands on slide
  2. 1-click begins animation
  3. Animation ends transitioning to the next slide

Thanks

    Neha's answer is not going to work because setting an auto transition will kill on click animations.

    There is no way to really do what you want but you can fake it.

    Copy and Paste slide 1 to a new slide two and remove all but the final animation

    Make the final animation with previous and set an auto transition to the next slide

    This should appear like the last click triggers the last animation

    Hi Ohthatguy_bklyn,

    To transition to the next slide after animation ends, follow the steps below:

    1. In the Thumbnail Pane, click the slide that you want to apply a transition to.
    2. Click Transitions tab, uncheck "on mouse click" and check "After" now you will need to define time in seconds for your slide transition.

    If you need help, let us know.

    Regards,

    Neha
