Click the “None” option in the animation section at the top of your screen

12. Closing Tips: *Have a slide that is exactly the same or nearly the same to end your presentation. *You do not want your closing of your talking to be in front of a blank slide or of the previous topic of your presentation. Tasks: *Go to slide 1 in the panel to the left. Right click on slide 1 and select copy. In the slides panel on the left scroll down so you can see your last slide (slide 12 – Closing). Right click underneath that slide and select the clipboard image with an “a” on it. Your new slide (slide 13) should be a copy of your original slide. *On slide 13, delete the text under MGT 200, and replace with your name. *You’re all set.
