Using Motion in Slideshows

This chapter describes how to add visual interest using slide
transitions and object builds.

After you’ve created and organized your slides, you can animate text and objects to
add visual interest and emphasis.

 Transitions provide visual effects when you move from one slide to the next.
 Object builds animate elements on slides.
