Transitions occur from slide to slide, even if you select No Transition as the effect. With the No Transition effect, the previous slide disappears and the next one appears. If you want a different transition, you must specify it from the Transition to This Slide group in the Animations tab. A gallery of transition effects appears, where you can select an effect, as shown in Figure 25-4. You can also select a sound and change the transition speed.

To apply a transition effect to a slide, follow these steps:

1. Select and display the slide or slides that you want to affect.
2. On the Animations tab, open the gallery of effects in the Transition to This Slide group and click the one that you want, or click No Transition to turn off any existing transition effect. The gallery of effects is shown in Figure 25-4.
3. (Optional) Open the Transition Speed drop-down list and select a transition speed.
4. (Optional) Open the Transition Sound drop-down list and select a transition sound.
5. (Optional) Click Apply to All to make the same transition apply to all slides in the presentation, and not just the selected slides.

In the Transition Sound menu, shown in Figure 25-5, you can choose from among PowerPoint’s default sound collection for the slide transition, or you can choose any of the following:

• No Sound: Does not assign a sound to the transition.
• Stop Previous Sound: Stops any sound that is already playing. This usually applies where the previous sound was very long and was not finished when you moved on to the next slide, or in cases where you used the Loop Until Next Sound transition (see below).
• Other Sound: Opens a dialog box from which you can select another sound file stored on your system.
• Loop Until Next Sound: An on/off toggle that sets whatever sound you select to loop continuously either until another sound is triggered or until a slide appears that has Stop Previous Sound set for its transition.
