Adding Transition Effects to Slides

When you develop a slide show, you might want to include some special effects as you make the transition from one slide to the next. When a new slide appears, your audience sees a transition effect—for example, a dissolve, a checkerboard, a "newsflash" effect—and/or a sound. You can also specify whether you want the next slide to advance automatically after a preset time or whether you want to switch to the next slide manually with a mouse-click.

Set the Transitions

  1. Click the slide to which you want to add the transition.

  2. On the Animations tab, point to the various transitions to see how they look, and then click the one you want.

  3. Select a sound if you want one.

  4. Select a speed for the transition.

  5. Specify how you want to advance to the next slide. If you want the slide to advance automatically, specify how long each slide is to be displayed before it advances.

  6. Click Apply To All if you want all the slides in your presentation to have the transition you just selected. If you don’t want the same transition for all the slides, repeat steps 1 through 5 to add transitions to the other slides in your presentation.

  7. Click to preview the transitions for all the slides.

Tip

Tip

Although you can add the transition effects at any time, it’s usually best to apply them after you’ve added all the slides to your show.

Caution

Caution

As with the text effects, don’t use a lot of different transitional effects. They can make your presentation seem chaotic, and an audience might find them quite distracting.
