By Ellen Finkelstein<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a common scenario.<\/p>\n

You have a table of Excel data and you need to discuss it in detail at a meeting. But there\u2019s no way it will fit on one slide. What are your options?<\/p>\n

1.<\/strong> You could print out the data so people can see it up close. I recommend doing this when necessary.
\n2.<\/strong> You could split the data onto 2 slides and use a dynamic transition between them. Dynamic transitions are new for PowerPoint 2010.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s a dynamic transition?<\/strong><\/p>\n

A dynamic transition has two special features:<\/p>\n

1.<\/strong> The transition applies to your slide content, but not the background. This makes your content seem to move independently from the background.
\n2.<\/strong> The transition works backward when you move to the previous slide.<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t need to add the transition to the first slide of a set.<\/p>\n

I recommend using transitions very sparingly. When a presentation has a transition applied to all slides, I find it distracting. Don\u2019t you? You want your audience to focus on the content, not the special effects!<\/p>\n

But occasionally, a transition can actually help your audience understand what you are saying. When you need to span data over 2 or more slides, the Pan dynamic transition can help.<\/p>\n

Here are two slides that provide historical data on health expenditures in the United States. In many cases, a chart (graph) would work better, but let\u2019s say that your audience wants to analyze the specific numbers, so you need to use a table. You can see that this data wouldn\u2019t fit on 1 slide, because it covers a span of 20 years!<\/p>\n
