Animating Objects within a Slide

You can set various animation effects for your slides. For example, you can have text appear letter-by-letter, word-by-word, or paragraph-by-paragraph. You can also have objects emerge sequentially throughout your slides, and even animate the elements of your charts. You can also change the order in which objects appear on a slide, and you can set timings for each object. To animate your slides, follow these easy instructions.

Go to the slide that has the text or objects you want to animate.
Select the part of the slide you want to animate
Click on the dropdown arrow in the upper right-hand corner of the Task Pane.
Select the option Custom Animation.
Select the part of the slide you want to animate.
Click on the Add Effect button in the Task Pane.
Choose the desired animation effect.
The animation effect will be demonstrated and applied to the selected slide.
Modify the effect as desired (direction, speed, etc.).
To view your animations, go to the Slide Show view.

Note: To remove a custom animation, select the animated object within the slide, click on the downward pointing arrow to the right of the object’s name in the Task Pane, and choose the option Remove.
