What do you mean by Slide Transition? Explain the steps to apply transition effect on a single slide.

A slide transition is the visual motion when one slide changes to the next during a presentation, like Wipe Down, Wipe Left, Wheel Clockwise, etc. These effects make our slide show lively and add dynamic flair to it.

The steps to apply transition effect on a single slide are as follows:

Step 1 — Select the slide on which we want to apply a transition. Click on the Transitions tab.

Step 2 — The 'Transition to This Slide' group appears on the Ribbon.

Step 3 — Click on the 'More' drop-down arrow to display all the transition effects. Click on any transition effect from the displayed choices. The current slide will display a preview of the selected effect.

Step 4 — Now select the 'Effect Options' button to select an effect for the chosen transition.

Step 5 — Click on the drop-down arrow of the Sound option in the Timing group and select any sound effect. Click on the Preview button present at the extreme left on the Ribbon. Observe its effect.

Step 6 — Specify the transition timing by entering the number of seconds or minutes in the 'Duration' box in the Timing group.

Step 7 — We can set our presentation to advance on its own and display each slide for a specific amount of time. To do so, uncheck the box next to the 'On Mouse Click', click on the 'After' checkbox and enter the amount of time for which we want to display the slide.

The effects will be applied on the current slide.
