Unwanted double swipe when Powerpoint in full screen

[Messi]

Hi everyone,

I have a MacBook Air and recently I started to use it a lot for presentations. I use Powerpoint to make the presentations, but when I have two presentations open in Powerpoint in full screen and I want to switch from (for instance) my browser to Powerpoint, it ALWAYS does a double swipe. To get to the presentation that I want to work in, I have to swipe back. It's really annoying and I can't find any good solutions anywhere. I did read that more people are experiencing this. Can somebody help me?
Thanks!

Hello and welcome.

You could try some settings in  > System Preferences... > Trackpad. Maybe in More Gestures > Swipe between full-screen apps - Swipe left or right with three fingers?

Hi C,
Thanks for your help. I looked at what you suggested, but I can only choose between swiping with three of four fingers, nothing more.

Anybody having the same problem?

I didn't forget you...I just haven't found any helpful solutions as of yet.

Ok, I'll just wait patiently. Thank you.

I am still looking. A little more information may narrow it down:

-Mac OS X version?
-PowerPoint version?
-System Preferences > Trackpad - what are your settings?
-System Information > Mission Control - what are your settings?
