Featured images are from Animation Factory. This presentation has been saved as a slide show so it can be opened quickly in slide show view. For easy use, I copy this to my desktop so I don't have to navigate to folders to find it. Timers Cheat Sheet
(use as a reference to quickly move to the starting slide you want) Creating a Countdown Timer- Create a new presentation in PowerPoint and insert a blank slide. Or insert a blank slide in an existing presentation.
- Insert a text box and type the number '1' or '01' or '001' depending on how many digits you want your counter to display. Center the text, change the font style, and increase the font to a large size.
- Choose Animation tab > Transition to This Slide (PowerPoint 2007) or Slide Show > Slide Transition (PowerPoint 2003) to apply a slide transition and set the advance to the desired interval (1 second, 1 minute, etc.)
How To Create Slide Transitions in PowerPoint
- Choose View > Slide Sorter (both versions) and click the formatted timer slide. Right-click on slide and left-click on Copy then right-click again to Paste an identical slide. Repeat as many times as you want to create the sequential slides for the countdown timer.
 - For each of the consecutive slides, edit the countdown number in reverse order until the last slide contains the number '1' or add concluding text.
Improve your countdown timer by experimenting with slide backgrounds, transitions, animations, font color and style, etc. to create a unique look. Add images or text such as "Minutes Left" or "Seconds Remaining."
