Summary

In this chapter, you learned how to animate the objects on your slides to create some great special effects, and how to create animated transitions from slide to slide. You learned how to specify sounds, speeds, and timing for effects, and how to layer effects to occur sequentially or simultaneously. Use this newfound knowledge for good, not evil! In other words, do not apply so many animations that your audience focuses more on the effects than on your message. If you would like more practice with these effects, work through Lab 2 at the end of this book.

In the next chapter, you'll learn how to create support materials for a presentation, such as handouts and speaker notes, and how to format and fine-tune their formatting.
