How to Pick an Effect

1. In the Build Workspace, take a look at the
Toolbar just above the Folder List. Click on
the Effects (FX) icon. This will open the Effects
(FX) window.

2. With the Slide Styles tab at the top selected, browse the
categories and choose your desired effect.

3. Press the Apply to Slide button. You'll see a message letting you
know that any other effects that exist for the selected slide will be
replaced by the Slide Style you have chosen. Press OK to apply
the new Slide Style.
4. Once you are finished applying your effects, press the Done
button.
Much like you saw earlier when choosing a Transition, the Effects (FX)
window allows to browse effects by category and will show you a
thumbnail preview of what the effect will look when once applied to your
slide.

As you click on each effect, more information about the effect will appear
on the right side of the window, including: the name of the style, the
number of layers you'll need for the effect, the preferred image orientation
and the optimal slide and transition times.

Effects (FX) Tip:

• If you have more than one slide selected in your Slide List, the
same effect will be applied to each selected slide.
