Automatic Preview check box enabled at the bottom of the

Specify Extras

In the

Modify Transition section, you can adjust the speed of the transitional effect and add a sound if you want. Click the

Speed list arrow or the

Sound list arrow to choose a different speed or sound. Remember that you can preview as many options as you want. The one you leave selected is the option that is used in the presentation.
