MS PowerPoint 2007 - Lesson 10: Slide presentation effects

If you've ever seen a PowerPoint presentation with special effects between each slide page, you'll see page transitions. The conversion process can be as simple as fading out to the next slide, or more eye-catching animation effects. PowerPoint has a lot of effects to choose from when designing slides. If you are not sure about these effects, please refer to the article below.

Add slide effects on PowerPoint 2013:

Introducing the Transitions tab of MS PowerPoint 2013:

There are 3 items in this tab:

1. Subtle: These are basic slide effects, they create simple movements when you move from one slide to another.

1. Exciting: The slide transition effect in this section is more complicated. Although they're more interesting than Subtle, adding too much can make your slides less professional. However, if used in self-presentation mode, they can increase the impression and attract viewers.

1. Dynamic Content: If you are switching between two similarly arranged slides, the effect in Dynamic Content will only move the content, not the slide. If used properly, this effect will help to unify the slides and add professionalism to your presentation.

Add effects to a slide:

1. Select the slide to add from the Slide Navigation navigation. This is the slide that will appear after the effect

1. In the Transitions tab you will see a group of effects, click the arrow to see all the effects.

1. Select the effect you need, then PowerPoint will automatically preview.

You can use the Apply To All option in the Timing group to apply this effect to all slides in your lesson. If you've applied any effects before, this option will also change them and apply the effect you just selected.

You should try some kind of effect to find out what is best for your presentation.

Preview effects:

You can preview the effect you apply to the slide at any time, using the following two methods:

1. Select Preview from the Transitions tab

1. Select Play Animations from Slide Navigation

2. In the Timing group, click the Sound drop-down menu
3. Click on the sound you like so it is added to the slide, in the preview preview you will hear this sound.
