A transition effect is a special effect used to introduce a slide during a slide show. For example, you can play a sound when the slide appears, or you can make the slide fade in from black. Apply a transition effect to a single slide to add emphasis, or add the transition to every slide. For example, in a self-running presentation that people click through themselves, using the same transition effect on every slide gives your presentation a polished look.

Here is an example of the Cover Down transition effect:

To set transition effects for a single slide or for all slides in a presentation

1. On the Slide Show menu, click Slide Transition.
2. In the Effect box , click the transition you want.
3. To apply the transition to the selected slide, click Apply.

To apply the transition to all the slides, click Apply All.

1. Repeat the process for each slide you want to add a transition to.
