Changing the Theme
Themes, like slide masters, should always be used when developing
more advanced presentations. Within a theme, you can change the
colors, fonts and effects that are used.
Each color theme is a palette of 8 colors which are used for
particular elements in your presentation - e.g. the background, text and
hyperlinks. Rather than change a color for particular elements on each
slide or on the Master Slides, you should reset it in the color theme - it
is then applied to all your slides and Masters automatically.
You will find that different themes have different pre-defined color
themes:

Animating your Presentation
Presentations are greatly improved by adding animation. PowerPoint
gives you a wide selection of built-in animations, both when moving between
one slide and the next and within each slide. Slide Transitions Instead of
simply moving abruptly from one slide to another during a presentation,
Slide Transitions
Allow slides to dissolve into each other, using a variety of different
special effects. These can make your on-screen presentation look even better
and more professional:
1. Check you are in Normal view and that the first slide is selected
2. Move to the TRANSITIONS tab to see the following ribbon:
Dominating the ribbon is the Transition to This Slide group. As you click on
an icon, you’ll see the transition effect on the slide (there is also a More arrow
that will show you all the different transition effects in one window). The

concentrate on each point individually.

on it (e.g. slide 2)
2. Click on the bullet points then move the mouse over the Animations icons
and watch the effects
