What are
custom animations?

  

Rather than having the entire contents of a slide appear all at once, with custom animation you have a great deal of fine control over the manner, sound, order and timing of the appearance of each object on a slide. You can individually animate the various slide objects (the slide title, the bulleted points, tables, charts, and graphics). This allows you to skillfully direct your audience’s attention while adding interest to your presentation.

 
 

How do I
create custom
animations?

  

To assign custom animations to a slide, follow these steps:

1) Go to the slide that you want to animate.

2) Pull down the Slide Show menu and select Custom Animation.


The following dialog box will appear:
 




       

1) The custom animation box allows you to add various effects, entrance, exit, emphasis and motion paths, as well as different start options.

2) You can access these different effects by clicking on the drop menu Add Effect..

3) Click on the desired effect and it Powerpoint will automatically apply the effect into your slideshow.
