Animations+Ribbon

Animations Ribbon

The Animations Ribbon allows you to add slide and text transitions to your presentation. The following will be useful:

In the center of the page you will see a series of boxes. These boxes represent the various ways in which you can transition a slide. Simply hovering over the options will show you how the transition will look once applied to the slide.

Transition sound allows you to select from a list of sound effects you can add to the slide for increased effect.

Transition speed allows you to control how quickly the transition you choose happens. You can slow it down so it takes a while to complete, or you can speed it up so it happens pretty quickly.

The Advance Slide option allows you to control the manner in which a slide is changed. The default setting is "Mouse Click" which means you have to click on the slide for it to move forward. You can choose the "Automatically After" option which will put a timer on the slide and force it progress after a specific amount of time has been dedicated to the slide.

Apply to All gives you the ability to apply your specific transitions, sound effects, and slide movements to all your slides throughout the presentation...otherwise, the effects will only be applied to the individual slide you have created at that moment.
