480 Chapter 16 Add Simple Visual Enhancements

● Dynamic Content This category holds the background of the slides still and

applies a dynamic effect to the title and other content, such as rotating or flying

onto the slide.

Each slide can have only one transition. You set transitions from the Transitions tab in

Normal view or Slide Sorter view, for one slide at a time, for a group of slides, or for

an entire presentation. This tab is new in PowerPoint 2010, reflecting the importance

of transitions in ensuring a smooth flow for your presentations. (Previously, transitions

were included on the Animations tab because they were considered just another form

of animation.)

In addition to selecting the type of transition, you can specify the following:

● The sound

● The speed

● When the transition occurs

In this exercise, you’ll apply a transition to a single slide, and apply the same transition to

all the slides in the presentation. You’ll also add sound to the transition and set the tran-

sition speed.

SET UP You need the JournalingB_start presentation located in your Chapter16
