If, on the other hand, you’re teaching Socratic reasoning at a university, then you probably want to exercise a little restraint. If you’re presenting to a bunch of geeks at Comic-Con then maybe the more flamboyant effects would be appropriate. These can be used to great effect if you are creating an online presentation or a video but hugely distracting if the deck is being used by a presenter in front of an audience. But PowerPoint 2010 tempts the unwitting presentation designer with some pretty out-there transitions, such as Glitter, Vortex, and Cube. Ordinarily, I’ll select Fade as the standard transition for an entire deck because it’s less jarring than None and Cut and doesn’t call attention to itself.
Change the transitions by highlighting slides in the left sidebar of the Normal View or in the Slide Sorter View then clicking on the appropriate effect in the Transitions ribbon: Transitions are the animations that occur when you advance the slides in a deck. For that, Grasshopper, is the secret of PowerPoint animation: use it if it helps to convey your message avoid it if it becomes the message.
They usually answer “What animation?” Rather than feel discouraged that all that work I put into my deck went unnoticed, I’m overjoyed that the animation was so seamlessly integrated into the presentation that people didn’t even know it was there. After presenting my Cheating Death by PowerPoint workshop, I often ask people how they liked the animation.
