Working in the Slide Options Window

As you create custom shows, you'll probably spend the majority of your
time using the Design Workspace and accessing all of the various Slide
Options. In later chapters we'll cover all of the options in more detail, but
for now let's get a feel for what the options are and where you'll find them.

As you have learned, you can double-click on any slide to open the Slide
Options window for that slide. On the left, you’ll find the options tabs.

Depending on which tab you select, you'll have access to different options
that are specific to each category. In some cases, such as Layers, you will
also see additional tabs that appear above the preview.

Starting from the top, just beneath the slide name, the Slide Options tabs
include:

• Set Slide Times - Click the clock icon to
change the times for your Transition In, Slide
Time and Transition Out.
• Slide Settings - Here you'll see some basic
information about your slide. You can also
go here to adjust timing, add notes change
the slide name and reset the slide.
• Slide Style - From this tab you can preview
and apply ready-made effects to your slide.
• Slide Sound - Select this tab to add sound
effects, record a voice over and control slide-
specific volume levels and timing.

• Background - Here you can create a custom
background for a slide.

• Captions - Use this tab to add and apply
effects to any captions you add to your slide.

• Layers - This area will list all of the layers on a slide. You can add
or remove layers and change their order from this pane. Select a
layer to apply effects or make edits.
