Using transitions in Powerpoint presentations

Transitions are part of the animation tools available in Powerpoint.  They are so impressive they get their own tab.

Transitions refer to the ways you can change from one slide to another.  You can have a simple transition but why not experiment to see if you can match the transition style to your audience.

For a smooth transition to a formal audience try the Reveal transition. 

For a fun transition during a quiz try the Checkerboard. 

For a presentation to beekeepers, try the Honeycomb effect.

You can preview the transitions and how they will look, but putting your cursor over the individual options and Powerpoint will show you how it will look using an instant preview.

Here is the Transitions tab

The Transitions tab includes extra options, available by scrolling down

Once you have found the transition you like, click to select.

It is a finishing touch that can be unobtrusive, sleek or go all out for the wow factor with some glitter.

Transitions are included in our one day Powerpoint courses.  Find out more with https://www.stl-training.co.uk/powerpoint-2010-introduction.php
