Slide Transitions: The Slow, Medium, and Fast
options refer to the speed of the transition. Again, you'll see a preview of
what they do when you select each option.
You
can also play a Sound when each slide appears. Click the dropdown list to see
the available options. But they are the same sounds you heard for the bullets.
You have to decide whether playing a sound with each new slide is suitable for
the presentation. If it's a professional, work-based presentation then the
answer is almost always No. After all, do you really want your boss scared half
to death by the sound of Gunshots and Explosions? OK, don't answer that!
The
other option is Advance. The default is to have each slide transition after the
mouse has been clicked. You can also tick the box next to automatically after.
This lets you set how many seconds/minutes to wait before the next slide
appears.
But
when you've finished experimenting, click either the Apply to All, or Apply to
all Slides button. This will return you to your main presentation.
Press F5 and run
your presentation. Ask yourself, Do the slide transitions look OK, or a bit
gimmicky?
