Powerpoint cross fade

[John.Battison]

I am totally new to talkgraphics and so do not know if I am in the right place or doing the right thing - no doubt someone will soon put me right if I am wrong!

I am just learning to cope with Powerpoint. When it comes to transitions there is an effect I'd like to use that seems not to be available. I want to cross fade between slides, one fading in as the other fades out. This a technique I've used a lot with trannies and slide projectors and I'd like to replicate it in PowerPoint.

Does anyone know if it is possible and how to do it?

Hello John,

Welcome to Talkgraphics.

I don't use PowerPoint myself so I cannot help.

It may be helpful if you mention which version of the program you are using so that someone can give specific information.

John,
From the menu under "Slide Show", select "Slide Transition" and from your choices there's a wipe left or wipe right options. Below that set it to the speed you want: Slow, Medium, or Fast. It defaults to Fast. You can also select a sound for the transition if you wish.
