**Slide Transitions ** Power Point provides different functions that simplify and improve a user’s slideshow. The objective of this tutorial is to teach the user to set a duration time for each slide in the slideshow without having to manually click the screen to continue onto the next slide. The addition of custom timing to a slideshow helps presentations run more efficiently. Slide transitions are the visual movements when one slide changes over to the next. Slide transitions add flare to presentations, are aesthetically pleasing to the audience and enhance appeal. Here are the steps for adding these "tweaks" to your presentation:
