Creating transitions between slides (PowerPoint 2002 [XP])
|
(This can be found in the bottom left corner of the PowerPoint window) 
Selecting the Transitions button will open a Transitions pane on the right side of the window.
A preview of the transition which you choose for a specific slide will take place on the slide sorter view.
Options available:
- Type of transition - scroll to see the entire list
- Speed of transition - experiment to see which speed looks best for your show
- Sound to accompany transition - If you have seen many of our PowerPoint tutorials you know we seldom recommend that you use the built in sounds in PowerPoint. Do you really need a sound saying,"hello everyone, I am changing slides now!"
- Slide Advance - Select automatically after some number of seconds only if your show will be displayed on a kiosk, or as a display.
- Apply to All Slides - There are two schools of thought regarding this selection. Some feel that using the same transition for each slide will give a sense of continuity to the slide show. Others feel that the same transition for each slide gives a boring, sameness to the show. You decide. There is no Apply button, selecting the transition automatically applies the transition to a slide.
- Play - Selecting this button gives you one more look at the transition style.
Always test your presentation before showing it. What sounded like such a good choice while you were writing, may not work out as well as you thought.
