Locate the two slides between which you want the 3D transition, then duplicate the second slide. You can do so by selecting the second slide then clicking the "Insert" menu item followed by the "Duplicate Slide" button.

Remove all animations from the original second slide. When you are finished, you should have the first slide, followed by the original second slide with no animations, then the third slide which remains an exact copy of the original second slide including any animations.

Save the first and original second slides as pictures. Select "File" or the Microsoft Office logo then select "Save As." Click "Other Format" from the resulting menu. From the "Save as type" drop-down menu, select JPEG as the file format. Name the pictures so you know the difference between slides one and two. Save the pictures in a location you will remember and be sure to save the individual slide and not the entire presentation on the prompt that follows.
