have you ever seen a presentation that
had special effects between each slide
if so you've probably seen transitions
in action a transition can be as simple
as fading from one slide to the next or
it can be a more flashy effect
to add a transition select the desired
slide then click the transition command
on the toolbar the animations pane will
appear here you can configure the
transition for the current slide click
the drop down menu at the top of the
pane then select a transition
the transition will be applied to the
current slide you can also adjust the
speed or apply the same transition to
all slides to preview a transition all
you have to do is click the play command
after the preview is finished click stop
to continue editing your presentation
transitions can add a nice touch between
important slides but they are best used
in moderation adding too many of these
effects can make your presentation look
a little silly and even be distracting
to your audience
consider using mostly subtle transitions
like fade or dissolve if you decide to
use them at all to remove a transition
just select no transition from the
drop-down menu in the animations pane
you can remove transitions from all the
slides by clicking apply to all slides
the best way to learn about transitions
is to practice so try using different
ones with your own presentations
