Setting Slide Transitions

After selecting a slide transitions effect, you can use the Slide Transition dialog box to set the speed at which the transition occurs. You can also set the transition to advance to the next slide automatically after a selected period of time, as well as add optional sound effects to the transition.

Procedures:
1. Select the slide or slides you want to set the timing for in the Normal or Slide Sorter view.
2. Select Slide Transition from the Slide Show menu.
3. Click Automatically after under the Advance section. Enter the number of seconds you want the
slide to appear on the screen.
4. Click the Apply button to apply the timing to the selected slides. Click the Apply to All button to
apply the timing to all slides in the presentation.
5. Repeat the above steps for each slide you want to set the timing for.
6. To view the timings, click the Slide Show button at the lower left of the PowerPoint window.

Note: To have the next slide appear either when you click the mouse or automatically after the number of seconds you enter - whichever comes first - select both the On mouse click and the Automatically after check boxes.
