slide transitions & animations

[Lucky Phil]

how do i get one slide to transition over the previous slide rather than the
screen going black before the transition/animation actions?

Take note that slide transitions and custom animations are two different
things.
Don't quite get what you mean. Are you referring to the "Fade through black"
under Slide Show > Slide Transition. If you do not want the "Fade through
black" transition, then apply "No transition" onto the slide.

Yep, thanks, got that.

ok, I have turned off all slide transitions. Lets go with custom animations
now. On 1 slide: the animation wipes the new slide over the previous slide.
Cant seem to reproduce that effect on other slides, just wipes/checkers/etc
over a black background.

thanks again

That's because slide 1 doesn't have a slide before it. Hence, the wipe is
transitioning with a black background. If you want other slides to have the
same effect, you will need to add a black slide before the actual slide.
