Chapter 10. Adding Action to Slides

Animations and transitions create action in your presentation. Animation effects manipulate text and objects on slides, so the slide show does more than just display static bullet points. Transitions add an interesting effect when the slide show advances from one slide to another. You also can insert movies, sounds, and hyperlinks from other programs or documents into your slides to make the slide show interactive.
