I'm not sure why this effect was removed from the user interface, but it's still supported; you need to use a little VBA to get at it.  This macro will apply the NewsFlash effect to all currently selected slides:

Sub NewFlashMe()

With ActiveWindow.Selection.SlideRange

.SlideShowTransition.EntryEffect = ppEffectNewsflash

End With

End Sub

    Worked great! Took me a few minutes to get it working, wouldn't preview from transitions toolbar, but was fine when I displayed it as a slide show. Pretty easy copy and paste to get it working.

    Thank you so much!!!!
