About This Feature
Overview
Slide Transition in WPS Office for Windows is a built-in presentation feature that controls how a slide moves to the next one during playback. It supports both manual advance and timed automatic advance, which is useful for classroom teaching, meeting presentations, showroom playback, and unattended display scenarios.
Core capabilities include:
