Topic 24: How to Apply the PowerPoint 2007 Slide Transitions to the Slides?

[seema]

PowerPoint 2007 Slide Transitions are special effects you can add to a PowerPoint slide to determine how one slides moves to the next. The PowerPoint 2007 offers variety of transitions from one slide to another.

Normally, the presenter must click the mouse to move to the next slide. However, if you are preparing a self-running presentation, automatic transitions are necessity.


To assign an automatic transition to a slide

• View or select the slide in Normal or Slide Sorter view.
• On the Animations tab, in the Transition to This Slide group, check the Automatically After: check box.
• In the Automatically After: text box, type a transition time, in seconds, to replace the default time.

• To apply this setting to all slides in the presentation, click Apply to All icon.

Note: You can leave the On Mouse Click check box selected, even if you choose automatic transitions because there may be times when you want to manually advance to the next slide before the automatic transition time has elapsed.
