2) In the

Modify transition

section, select the entry Other sound

from the Sound drop-down menu.

3) Select the Loop until next sound checkbox if you want the

sound to restart once it is finished.

Caution

Do not click the Apply to all button, otherwise your selected

sound will restart at every slide.

Note

The sound file is linked to the presentation rather than

embedded, therefore if you plan to display the presentation on a

different machine, remember that you also have to make the

sound file available on the machine where the presentation will

be played and re-establish the link to the local sound file before

starting the slideshow.

Removing a transition effect

1) Select the desired slides.

2) Choose No Transition in the list on the Slide Transition page of

the Tasks pane.

Using slide animation effects

Slide animations are similar to transitions, but they are applied to

individual elements on a single slide—a title, chart, shape, or individual

bullet point. Animations can make a presentation more lively and

memorable. Just as with transitions, heavy use of animations can be

fun, but distracting and even annoying for an audience expecting a

professional presentation.

Animation effects need to be applied from Normal View so that you can

select individual objects on a single slide.

Note

At present it is not possible to apply animation effects to the

slide master elements. This means that if you want to display the

items in a text box one by one, you need to apply the effects to

each text box, or alternatively copy the text box from one slide to

the other.
