Is it just me or are the PPT page transitions not working when I publish with Articulate? If I could use them it could really add some value to the look and feel of my course.
Hi Jeffrey! Presenter doesn't support slide transitions, so this is why you're not seeing them in your published output. Here's a list of supported effects: http://www.articulate.com/support/presenter09/?p=400
One thing I've done in the past when I want to simulate a transition is to apply an exit animation in PowerPoint (fade works well) to all objects on a slide, and then sync that animation to occur at the end of the slide.
I did. What I am trying to do is replicate specific transitions because Articulate does not support transitions. I have a slide that has a graphic on it, and it is followed onto the next slide. If I use the "Wipe" transition, it looks like the graphic is a continuous line. I added an exit animation to all of the elements on the first slide to "fly out" and set to "On Click", but when I preview it in Presenter, the elements animate when the player switches from pause to play, rather than when the user clicks to go to the next slide. Any ideas?
I'd recommend sending us your files so we can take a closer look, pinpoint the issue and work with you to find a solution. If you'd like to do that, please create an Articulate Presenter package, then upload the zip file to our server. You can review how to do this here:

I hope that helps!
Now that is a convenient list tnx
Slide transitions are cool and know why you'd want them. Please consider submitting a feature request if they're something you really want support http://www.articulate.com/support/contact/feature/
Just did so and am way ahead with with the fade stuff
Can you tell me how to sync an animation to occur at the end of a slide if I am having the user advance through the eLearning?
Hi Amy!
Have you set your animations to On Click? That will give you control over when you want your animations to appear.
