Transitions are effects that let you move from one slide to the next. Learn how to add the Curtain Slide transition effect in PowerPoint.

The transitions include an accompanying icon that represents the effect of each. Scroll down in the Transitions menu for more effect options. Click the transition effect to add it to a slide.

Your slide show presentation already contains compelling information. However, the finishing touch, the added flair, is the use of transitions.

Then, to add a zoom animation effect to your slide, duplicate the slide. For this, select the slide in the left pane, right-click it and choose ‘ Duplicate Slide ’ option.

Add another animation effect to the object if you prefer. You can add two or more effects by clicking the "Add Animation" button in the "Advanced Animation" group.

To add a little fun to a Microsoft PowerPoint slide, combine a few animations to a star shape to create a flashing star.

If one star in your Microsoft PowerPoint presentation is fun, then lots of stars might be exciting. See how easy it is to add multiple flashing stars in a PowerPoint slide.
