presentation software

standard component of the
company's Microsoft Office

that appears when you

next.

you can manually specify when
to display the next slide, or you
can have PowerPoint move
automatically to the next slide
after a specific amount of time.
You can specify the duration of
the transition effect, or add a
sound effect if you want to.

1. Select all the slides, apply the
transition, and then configure the
transition and timing options.
Or

On the Transitions tab, in the
Timing group, click the
Sound arrow, and then click
the sound you want to play.
PowerPoint doesn't
automatically play the sound
when you select it; only when
you preview the transition.

You can animate the objects on your
slides. Animation refers to the
movement of an element on a slide.
When used appropriately, animated slide
elements can both capture the
audience's attention and effectively
convey in text formation. You can
animate any individual objects on a slide
including texts, pictures, and shapes.

presentation on a
