Free Power Point Templates

When you display your presentation electronically as a slide show, the slides take up the full screen. All the tools, menus, and other screen elements are hidden so as not to detract from your show. Your computer becomes the equivalent of a slide projector.

PowerPoint offers a number of features you can use when you run your slide show:

• You can use special effects, such as transitions and builds, to add variety.
• You can practice giving your presentation and set automated timings for your slides to match your rehearsal times.

In this part of the tutorial we will discuss transitions and builds.

Build Slide

A build slide is a slide that starts with the first major bullet point and shows more major bullet points as the presentation proceeds. You decide whether you want to dim previous points on the slide as new points appear and what effect you want to use when the bullet points appear (for instance, bullet points can fly in from the right, left, top, or bottom).

Transitions

Transititions moves one slide off the screen and brings the next one on. Fading from black and dissolving from one slide to another are two examples of transitions. You have a choice of transitions for each slide, plus you can vary the speed of each transition.
