SYMPTOMS

When you view the Slide Transition dialog box in PowerPoint 2000, the Effect list may be blank instead of listing a transition effect or No Effect.

CAUSE

This behavior occurs when both of the following conditions are true:
  • The transition was set in PowerPoint 2002.

    -and-
  • The transition was one that is new in PowerPoint 2002.
