Creating a slide show
After you have completed your presentation slides, you are ready to set up a slide show. First, arrange them in the order you want for the presentation if you haven't already done so.
To check and change the order of your slides:
- Open your presentation in Slide Sorter view.
![Slide Sorter View button](gif/pp_slidesorterview_button.gif)
OR
- Choose View
Slide Sorter.
![View Menu Slide Sorter](gif/pp_viewmenu_slidesorter.gif)
- Rearrange the slides in any order by clicking the slide you want to move and dragging it to its new position in the presentation.

Creating slide transitions
One way to enhance a presentation is to move from slide to slide using interesting transitions.
To make transitions from slide to slide:
- Choose Slide Show
Slide Transition.
![Slide Show menu](gif/pp_slideshow_menu.gif)
- In the Slide Transition dialog box, choose the effect you want from the drop-down menu.
- Preview each effect by clicking it and looking at the small slide in the Slide Transition dialog box.

- Click Apply to All when you have chosen an effect.
- Choose either to advance from slide to slide on mouse click or automatically after the number of seconds you select.
- Choose Slide Show
View Show or press F5 to see how the transition works. - Exit the show and return to Normal view.
Before you make a public slide show presentation, it's always a good idea to view and proofread it on the computer screen first.
