Abstract
Object matching between slides of a presentation is disclosed. In certain implementations, different objects within separate slides are matched and can be separately and independently handled during slide transitions as compared to unmatched objects. In certain embodiments, this involves matching objects on both an outgoing and incoming slide and providing specific animation or handling for those matched objects. Further, different degrees or levels of object matches may be provided and this information may be leveraged in the slide transition process.
