Choosing Transition Effects
Back in the old slide projector days, there was only one kind of transition: the old slide got pushed out, and the new slide plunked into place. With a computerized presentation, you can choose from all kinds of fun transitions, including wipes, blinds, and much more.The transition effect for a slide refers to how the slide enters, not how it exits. So if you want to assign a particular transition to occur while moving from slide 1 to slide 2, for example, you would assign the transition effect to slide 2.The looks of the individual transitions are hard to explain on paper; it's best if you just view them on-screen to understand what each one is. Try out as many of them as you can before making your final selections.| Caution | Transitions add a nice little flourish to your presentation, but you don't want them to distract unduly from your message. It's usually best to stick to a single transition effect used consistently across the entire presentation unless you are consciously striving for a whimsical touch. |
To apply a transition, simply select the slide, and then choose one of the transitions in the Slide Transition task pane. (If it does not already appear, choose Slide Show⇨Slide Transition.) If AutoPreview is on (and it is by default, there's a checkbox for it at the bottom of the task pane), the effect previews immediately for the active slide.After choosing the desired transition effect, you can fine-tune it with the settings in the Modify Transition section of the task pane. For example, you can choose a speed and associate a sound with the effect (see Figure 13-4). After perfecting the transition settings, click Apply to All Slides if you want to copy the settings to all the other slides in the presentation.
Figure 13-4: Set up transition effects, including the basic effect, the speed, and an associated sound (optional).
You learned about sounds in Chapter 12, and the sound option for the transition has a lot in common with those other sound settings. Instead of being attached to an object, though, the sound is attached to the transition event. Choose one of the sounds on the Sound list or choose Other Sound to browse for a sound file (see Figure 13-5).
Figure 13-5: Associate a WAV format sound file with the transition, if desired.
| Caution | Only WAV files can be used for the sounds associated with slide transitions. |
