FAQ

Why does nothing seem to change after I click Apply to All?

  1. Confirm that the current slide already has a transition effect instead of the default no-transition state.
  2. Reopen the Transitions tab and check whether speed, sound, and related settings are already applied.
  3. Click Apply to All again, then move to other slides to confirm the result.

Will Apply to All overwrite existing transition settings?

  1. Yes. After you run it, all slides use the current slide’s transition settings.
  2. If some slides need different transitions, apply the full-deck setting first and then adjust those slides separately.
  3. Preview the presentation before saving to confirm the final result.

Where can I find the Apply to All button?

  1. Open a WPS Presentation file and select any slide.
  2. Click the Transitions tab at the top of the window.
  3. Find Apply to All in that tab and click it.
