Lesson 8: Applying Transitions Show /en/powerpoint2016/applying-themes/content/ IntroductionIf you've ever seen a PowerPoint presentation that had special effects between each slide, you've seen slide transitions.

Transitions are best used in moderation. Adding too many transitions can make your presentation look a little silly and can even be distracting to your audience. Consider using mostly subtle transitions, or not using transitions at all. To apply a transition:
You can use the Apply To All command in the Timing group to apply the same transition to all slides in your presentation. Keep in mind that this will modify any other transitions you've applied.

Sounds are best used in moderation. Applying a sound between every slide could become overwhelming or even annoying to an audience when presenting your slide show. To remove a transition:
To remove transitions from all slides, apply the None transition to a slide, then click the Apply to All command. Advancing slidesNormally, in Slide Show view you would advance to the next slide by clicking your mouse or by pressing the spacebar or arrow keys on your keyboard. The Advance Slides setting in the Timing group allows the presentation to advance on its own and display each slide for a specific amount of time. This feature is especially useful for unattended presentations, such as those at a trade show booth. To advance slides automatically:
If you need to advance to the next slide before an automatic transition, you can always click the mouse or press the spacebar to advance the slides as normal. Challenge!
