Thread: Animations

To animate your slides, you have the Animations tab which puts every¬thing in plain sight and within easy reach. From within the Animations tab, look for the Custom Animations button ([Alt] + [A] + [C]). This will open up a Custom Animations pane on the right, from where you can add animations to individual contents on your slide, instead of animating the entire slide itself. Once you have added your effects, you can just drag them about to reorder them, which makes storyboarding your slide very easy. Also remember to play your animation, using the little play button at the bottom of the Custom Animations pane, to check progress. In this same pane, you can set var¬ious parameters for the animation, including the event (time delay or on click), directions and speed. Every effect in that pane also has a drop down arrow, which will reveal further options.
