Add Transitions

Transitions determine how your presentations move from one slide to the next. For example, a slide can move up onto the screen and replace the previous slide. PowerPoint provides several transition methods. You can add sound to a transition and you can control its speed. You can apply a transition to selected slides or to all of the slides in your presentation.

A transition can occur when the presenter clicks the mouse or after the amount of time you specify.

To apply a transition to selected slides:

1.     On the Slides tab, hold down the Ctrl key and then click the slides to which you want to apply the transition.

2.     Choose the Animations tab.

3.     Click the More button  in the Transition to this Slide group. A menu of transitions appears.

4.     Click the transition you want to apply. PowerPoint applies the transition. As you roll your pointer over each transition, PowerPoint provides you with a live preview of the transition.

To apply a transition to all slides:

1.     Choose the Animations tab.

2.     Click the More button  in the Transition to this Slide group. A menu of transitions appears.

3.     Click the transition you want to apply. As you roll your pointer over each transition, PowerPoint provides you with a live preview of the transition.

4.     Click the Apply to All button 

 in the Transition to This Slide group.

To add a sound to a transition:

1.     Choose the Animations tab.

2.     Click the down arrow next to the Transition Sound field and then click the sound you want. As you roll your pointer over each sound, PowerPoint plays the sound.

To set the speed of a transition:

1.     Choose the Animations tab.

2.     Click the down arrow next to the Transition Speed field and then click the speed you want.

If you want the transition to occur after the presenter clicks the mouse, check the On Mouse Click check box. If you want a transition to occur after a specified period of time, check the Automatically After check box and then specify the amount of time you want to elapse before the transition occurs. The On Mouse Click check box and the Automatically After check box are both located on the Animations tab in the Transition to This Slide group.
