This document provides instructions for adding custom animations and slide transitions in PowerPoint presentations. It explains that custom animations add movement and effects to text and images, and slide transitions create visual movement between slides. The steps are to select the animation effect for titles first, then bodies of text second, and then any photos third on each slide. It recommends using fast animations and sounds only on the first and last slides, and avoiding single letter animations or spinner and swivel effects. Transitions can be applied to all slides simultaneously by selecting the transition and clicking "Apply to All Slides".
