"Hi. My name is Dave Andrews. Today I'm going to show you how to create transition effects in PowerPoint. Let's begin by opening up Microsoft PowerPoint. Click on the Start button, go to All Programs, Microsoft Office, and click on PowerPoint. This is the default slide that comes up when you open PowerPoint. We'll just put some text on here: This is my first slide. Now let's add a new slide by right clicking in the left and saying New Slide. This is my second slide. Now, we want to create a transition between these two slides. To do so, select your second slide, which is where the transition will appear, and click on Animations, and in the middle here, you're going to have a list of transitions. There are several, four that you can see right here, but there's actually more than four. If you click this little drop down box right here, that says More, you have a whole list of transitions you can apply. I'm going to select this one that makes it grow from the sides. Let's also, on our first slide, apply a fade in. Now let's run the slides and see our transitions. Click on Slide Show, say from beginning. There was our fade in and there was our second slide growing in from the sides. Once again, the fade in and then growing from the sides. It's that easy to add transitions. My name is Dave Andrews and I've just showed you how to create transitions in a Microsoft PowerPoint slide show."
