In this series of tutorials on Slide Transition in PowerPoint 2011 for Mac, you have explored how to add Slide Transitions to your slides, and edit the Transition Duration (speed). In this tutorial we'll show you how to edit transition time. Remember that transition duration and transition time are not the same. Transition time is the actual time that the slide stays active on the screen during a Slide Show before moving on to the next slide. Transition duration is the amount of time taken to move between slides.
Usually, during a Slide Show, you can advance to the next slide by clicking your mouse or by pressing the Return key on your keyboard. Transition time on the other hand, allows you to set your slides to advance on their own instead, and display each slide for a specific amount of time that you decide. This option is useful for unattended presentations, such as at a trade show booth or even a picture Slide Show.
