It's not perfect though: according to the manual the countdown timer is the last mode in the rotation, requiring 4 button presses to get to. This has a +/- adjustable single timer, and is nicely uncluttered. I can't find a "spiritual successor" to this in the current 5600 lineup… does anyone know of one? Sadly all the DW-5600E variants seem to be increment only. +/- adjustable timers, multiple preset timers, no extraneous stuff in the display… shame it was discontinued. Sadly if these are modded to add a timer, it seems to be increment only instead of +/-… a real shame as I love the display layout and ergonomics here, nice big time display and no wasted space. It has multiple timers though, and for pure functionality I think this is the winner in the current line-up, unless there's a model out there I haven't found. This is a bit better than the AE-1200 (slightly larger time display) but still a big chunk of the display is 3 rings that are useless to me. It has the +/- adjustable timer, but over half the face is stuff I don't need, not ideal. Plenty of them do this, I know, but I'm trying to find the least "cluttered" one (I'm not looking for tide graphs and world maps). I'm looking for a model which also lets you decrement a timer when adjusting it. The older/basic Casio models only let you increment the timer when adjusting it, so if you're at 25 mins and you want 20? You gotta hold the button until it circles all the way back to 20. Usually I have it set for 25 mins for working in bursts and taking breaks, but I also need to adjust it for other common timers like 1, 5, 10 mins etc. The progress bar should appear to grow from the left side of the screen for 30 seconds and then stop.I have a W-202, and I find I use the countdown timer a lot. When you’re done, try it out by going to Slideshow Mode and playing From Current Slide. Here’s what your settings should look like: In the Timing group, set the Duration to the number of seconds you want the progress bar to run, for example, 30 seconds. On the Animations tab, in the Animation group, select Fly In.Ĭlick Effect Options, and select From Left. Right-click the bar, and select Format Shape > Shape Options > Fill > Solid fill. On the slide, click where you want the progress bar, and draw a rectangle with its edge against the left border of the slide. On the Insert tab, in the Illustrations group, click Shapes, and select a rectangle. Top of Page How to create a progress bar timerĪnother effective way to add a countdown timer is to emulate the appearance of a progress bar. You can use any interval, but it’s a good idea to set the same delay for each object in the sequence. Note: You can just as easily animate shapes to appear or disappear using the different entrance and exit animations in PowerPoint. Again in the Timing group, set the timing details to: Start: After Previous, Duration: Auto, and Delay: 01:00. Now, in the Animation Pane, select the rest of the rectangles one at a time, from 4 to 1. Select Rectangle 5, and in the Animations > Timing group, leave the settings Start: On Click and Duration. You want the other boxes to then each wait one second before disappearing automatically, one by one. You want only the first rectangle with the number 5 to start on a click, and you want it to stay on screen for one second before it disappears. Look at the number to the right, which shows the text in the rectangle. The numbering of the rectangles can be a little confusing because PowerPoint is accounting for other objects on the slide. Select the rest of the rectangles 4, 3, 2, 1 in order, and apply the same exit animation, Disappear, to each, one at a time.Ĭlick Animations > Animation Pane to show the Animation Pane. Here, you can select the animation you want, for example Disappear. On the Animations tab, in the Advanced Animation group, click Add Animation, and go down to Exit. You can copy and paste to duplicate and then edit the new boxes.Ĭlick inside the text rectangle with the number. To create text boxes, on the Insert tab, in Text group, click Text box, and draw the text box on your slide. Tip: Create the boxes in order from highest to lowest so it’s easier to animate them in order.
