pop-up menu.

the frame.

direction button to set the direction of the transition.
The Preview area shows the angle at which animated transitions enter and exit the frame.
Note: The Transition direction buttons appear dimmed if you choose a transition that can be
applied in only one direction.
3 Set the duration of the transitions between slides by specifying the time, in seconds, using the
Speed value slider.
The chosen transition is applied uniformly between slides in the slideshow, with the direction
and duration you specied.
