Creating Slides: Adding Transitions

Transitions allow you to present each slide in the same manner in a show or each slide may be presented in a unique manner.

To apply a transition to the current slide:

1. Select the slide you want to apply the transition to.

2. Go to the Animations Tab/Transitions to This Slide Group.

3. Slide your mouse over the different transitions on the ribbon to see how they will present your slide.

4. Choose a transition from those visible on the ribbon or select the pull down arrow in the lower right hand corner to see more selections.

or; you may use the scroll arrows to see the available transitions on the ribbon.

5. You may then select the speed at which you want the transition to appear; and, you may add sound from a selection of sound effects. These options are located at the right end of the Transitions to this Slide group.

6. You then may apply your choices to all slide or just the current slide.

7. The next step is to decide if you want the transition to appear on the presenter's mouse click or automatically after an amount of time you designate. These options are located in the far right portion of the Transitions to this slide group.

8. This process may be repeated for each slide in the presentation.
