Slide Transitions

When running the slide show, the manner of its appearance can be altered, with different items appearing at different times. The transition or wipe between slides can be altered so that instead of just moving to the next slide, it appears in a certain manner, for example in a 'checkerboard' pattern.

Transitions can be set by pressing the Space bar on the keyboard. For a rolling presentation to provide changes automatically, click the Slide Show menu and select Slide Transition. From here, you can select the Effect, Speed and Advance options you feel will be most suitable. The following table gives suggested effects for each slide. To start with, keep the Speed to be 'medium' and the Advance option to be 'Automatically after 3 seconds' but you should experiment with different transition settings styles and times.

Slide Title Transition Seconds
1 Swansea College Diagonal Right Up 5
2 Cambridge IT Diagonal Left Down 5
3 Modules Covered Blinds Vertical 10
4 Modules Covered Jigsaw Large 10
5 Module Completion Box In 8
6 Certificates Scroll Down 6
7 Pass Rates Scroll Up 6

For a rolling presentation, choose the Slide Show menu and select Set Up Show then Loop Continuously until Esc and click in the 'Run continuously until Esc' box.
