I cannot find a "delay time" button

What should it do?

nor can I find a way to use the "frames" to get the slides to the different timings I need.

Please follow http://www.gimp.org/tutorials/Simple_Animations/, especially Step 3.

I am a new user attempting to convert power points to gifs that can be played on our company website. I save the power point presentation as a gif, then open it as layers in gimp. Once I save the presentation again, it works well, but the timings I had set in power point are gone.

I cannot find a "delay time" button nor can I find a way to use the "frames" to get the slides to the different timings I need. I also occasionally have resolution problems when I open the presentation in gimp and again as I save them to a gif after I am finished in gimp.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Animated GIF is not a good format for this:

* it won't adapt to the user's screen definition, you'll have to use a lowest common denominator
* due to the small number of available colors edges of text and diagrams will look pixellated
* it won't adapt to your user's reading speed

Why don't you convert your PPT to PDF instead?

Or even to HTML - I think there is an export option in powerpoint to generate an html page directly...
