Slide Masters and
Transitions
There are
three things that apply to the whole PowerPoint presentation: Themes,
Slide Masters, and Transitions. A Slide Master is a
design view that you can use to create your own presentation Theme. A
Transition
is how the presentation goes from one slide to the next. The
Transitions, like segues in a movie, can dissolve, fade to black, or use
some exciting wipe. This lesson will create a presentation on space,
Reach for the Stars. The images are available free, without
copyright, from NASA. The lesson will demonstrate how to create a custom
Slide Master and how to apply Transitions to a slide show.
