If you want timers to start automatically when the slide is viewed then this can be achieved by changing the animation settings to start automatically. Most timers are set to start when they are clicked – the exception being the bar timers which start when you click anywhere on the slide.Timers can be resized, or formatted – just make sure you highlight all of the items at the same time (by using same method as above).You can now ‘copy’ – then go into your presentation and paste. To use a timer, all you need to do is enter the editing mode of PowerPoint - copy desired timer into your presentation, each timer is made up of many components, so when copying – you need to use the mouse to select all the components to do this – click and hold the mouse, top left of the timer, then whilst holding mouse button down, drag the mouse to bottom right of timer and release – everything within the region should be selected.There are timers for various different time increments between 10 seconds and 20 minutes.If appropriate a timer can be introduced, to ‘time’ how long is available for them to complete the activity.

The idea behind this, is one way to make a PowerPoint presentation to a large audience, slightly more interactive, is to set the students a question, activity, calculation etc.
