Creating Slide Transitions

One way to enhance a presentation is to move from slide to slide using interesting transitions.

To make transitions from slide to slide:

• Choose Slide ShowSlide Transition.

• In the Slide Transition dialog box, choose the effect you want from the drop-down menu. Ex. Blinds Horizontal, Blinds Vertical, Box In and Box Out.
• Preview each effect by clicking on it and looking at the small slide in the Slide Transition dialog box.

• Click Apply to All when you have chosen an effect.
• Choose either to advance from slide to slide on mouse click or automatically after the number of seconds that you select. Ex. 4 seconds.
• Choose Slide ShowView Show or press F5 to see how the transition works.
• Exit the show and return to Normal View.

Remember, before you make a public slide show presentation, it's always a good idea to view and proofread it on the computer screen first.
