Applying Transitions


A transition is an effect that occurs when one slide leaves the screen and another one appears. Transitions add movement to your presentation and can keep audiences interested, but remember, overusing transitions can be distracting. Add transitions only where they will improve your presentation.



To apply transitions to slides:

  1. Select the slide(s) to which you want to add the transition.
  2. Select Slide Transition on the Slide Show menu.
  3. Click the transition you want to apply.
  4. PowerPoint automatically previews the transition for you. Click the Play button to preview the transition again.
