Introduction
The slide sorter mode lets you add special effects for presentations using a computer. It also lets you practice by timing your time. Knowing how much time you take to give your presentation, you can rearrange your slides. You can even go over some of them that have less importance because of a lack of time.
Effects of transitions
The effects of transitions effects are to move from one slide to another. The first case of the second toolbar contains a list of all the transition effects. You can choose among them.
To access all the options of transition effects, press the button transition effect
The window that appears gives you options for the effects of transitions.
You will find among the list of all possible transitions. You can click on the image of the key to give you an idea of the transition effect. You can change the effect as often as you want.
You can also decide the speed of transition from one slide to another. It is preferable to use the fastest speed. The intent of a presentation is to convey a message and to demonstrate that you are able to use special effects.
If you prepare a presentation to scroll, you can also determine how long, in seconds, the slide stays on the screen.
Once you’ve selected all the options you want, press the OK button.
Once chosen, an icon will appear at bottom left of the chosen slide. You can press this button anytime to see the transition effect. If the effect you are not satisfied, select another from the list of transitions
Effects compilation
The effects are the compilation to bring up a point at a time on your slide. There is a great advantage to use this command. The public sees only the point on which you speak at the moment and those that you discussed earlier. He does not see the next point to cover. So they do not have the impulse to read the slide to complete and be distracted from your presentation. If you make a presentation using a computer, it is very important to use it. Try it once. You will see the difference that it gives your presentation. Using this option also gives a professional look to your presentation.
Place the cursor on the fifth slide of the presentation: “Because of our growth.”
From the list of compilations, which now shows “Without compilation, select the effect of compiling your choice.
You can decide what effect choose from the list of compilation. There is also the possibility of blurring the issues on which you’ve already discussed. The point that you discussed changes color, usually for a lighter color. In this way the emphasis is on the point you are discussing at this time. This option is available from the animation effects. It remains to choose a pale color for the point on which you speak is more brilliant than others.
Once you have chosen a compilation of the list, this icon will appear below the slide where you save the options. You must be in slide show mode to see the effect of compilation.
Make sure the cursor is on the fifth slide of the presentation: “Because of our growth.”
Press the button or menu bar, select View, Slide Show and press the View button.
Press the left mouse button, the spacebar, the Enter key or press PageDown to see the effect of compilation. The following will appear on the screen with the effect of compilation that you have chosen.
Repeat until you have covered all the points of the slide.
