The first tab within the in is the Custom Animation tab. This tab provides options to reorder, change, and remove existing animations on your slides. To use any of the options in this tab, you must have a slide object that has animation added to it - in Figure 1, you can see that to a Rectangle show up in this tab within the Animation order list. Figure 1: Custom Animation tab showing animations on the active slide Within the Animation Order section of the Toolbox, select any animation to enable the additional Toolbox sections and options, as shown in Figure 2.
PowerPoint for Mac 2011 boasts more than a handful of worthwhile improvements, including greatly enhanced support for QuickTime movies, path animations, features for sharing and collaboration,.
Figure 2: Additional sections within Custom Animation tab Let us now explore the animation options within the Custom Animation tab of the Toolbox, as marked in Figure 2, above: A. Animation order This section displays the list of all the animations on the current slide. For this tutorial we have applied two animations to the same Rectangle, and they show within the Animation order section (refer to Figure 2 above).
Reorder Click either of the Re-Order arrow buttons to move the selected animation before or after in the sequence. The Re-order button only works when there are two or more animations on a slide. Remove Animation Click this button to remove the selected animation(s) from the active slide. Effect Options Click the disclosure triangle to expand this section.
The Effect Options section provides settings for the selected animation (see Figure 3). Figure 3: Effect Options Within this section you can customize the following options: Property: Click the drop-down list to display properties for the selected animation. In Figure 3 above, the property allows you to change the direction of the animation, but these properties will differ based on the animation selected. After animation: In this dop-down list, you'll get options for the action that happens after the animation has occurred. You can choose Theme Color, Colors, Don't Dim, Hide after Animation, and Hide on Next Animation.
Again, options may differ based on the selected animation. Sound: This drop-down list provides various sounds which can be applied when the animation is played. You can also choose the Other Sound option to choose a sound file located on your system.
Smooth Start and Smooth End: Select these check boxes to smoothly start and end your animations, otherwise the effect plays at a constant speed, some people may call this abrupt. Availability of Smooth Start and Smooth End check boxes depends upon the type of animation selected.
Timing This section provides options for changing the timing of the animation effect you have selected, as shown in Figure 4. Figure 4: Timing Within this section you can customize the following options: Start: Choose from On Click, With Previous, and After Previous.
Speed: Choose from the predetermined time intervals. Delay: Use the spinner control to set the number of the seconds to wait before the animation begins to play. Repeat: Choose how many times you want to repeat the animation. Rewind when done playing: Select this check-box to start over the animation when the slide containing the animation is shown again. Text Animations Within this section you can find the options to apply fancier animations to Text, similar sections may be available for Charts and SmartArt (see Figure 5). Figure 5: Text Animations Within this section you can customize the following options for Text Animation: Animate text: Choose from All at Once, By Word, and By Letter.
Group text: Choose how the bulleted text is animated, as a group all at once, or by paragraph (bulleted) levels. Animate attached shape: When this checkbox is selected, the shape that contains text is animated along with the text in it. When not selected, only the text is animated. In reverse order: Sets the paragraphs in text animations to animate in reverse order.

When you view a presentation in view, any to slide objects typically play when you click your mouse or press the spacebar. Another option to cause the animation to happen is by clicking a button on a presentation remote; each of these options advances one animation at a time on a slide. If there are no more animations on the slide, clicking will take you to the subsequent slide. While this approach works for slides that have an animation or two, you will quickly realize that this is certainly not the way to go if your slides have tens of animations, or more. If you add that many animations to any slide, you probably want your animations to be automatically, or even at the same time.
That's exactly where PowerPoint's Animation Events can help. PowerPoint supports three types of Animation Events:. On Click: This is the default animation event for any animation applied to a slide object. This animation can be played by either clicking the left (or default) mouse button, pressing the spacebar or Next Arrow button on the keyboard, or activating a specific button on a presentation remote control.
With Previous: This animation event plays along with any previous animation(s) listed within the of the Toolbox. If there are no previous animations on the slide, this animation plays immediately after the slide transits from a previous slide. After Previous: This animation event plays instantly after the previous animation finishes playing on a slide. If there are no previous animations on the slide, this animation plays immediately after the slide transits from a previous slide. Follow these steps to change the animation event for any animation:.
Open your presentation and navigate to the slide which includes several animations. If you don't have a slide with several animations available, consider creating a new slide with some shapes or other slide objects, then add some animations to these shapes or slide objects, as explained in our tutorial.
You will now change the Animation Events for these animations. With the slide active, click the Toolbox icon on the that you can see in Figure 1 (highlighted in red). Figure 1: Toolbox icon on the Standard Toolbar.
This summons the that you can see in Figure 2, below. Within the Toolbox, access the first tab, which is the, that you can see highlighted in red within Figure 2, below. Within this tab, you can see all the animations applied to different slide objects on the active slide. Select the animation for which you want to change the event. Figure 2: Start button within the Animations tab.
To change the Animation Event of the selected animation, you can use either of these two options:. Locate the Animation Options group within the Animations tab of the. Within this group, click the Start drop-down list (highlighted in green within Figure 2). This action opens the Start drop-down list which includes Animation Events, shown in Figure 3. These three Animation Events are On Click, With Previous, and After Previous.
Figure 3: Animation Events within the Start drop-down list. Alternatively, open the Timing pane within the, as shown in Figure 4, below. Click the Start drop-down list (highlighted in red within Figure 4). Figure 4: Timing pane within the Custom Animation tab of the Toolbox This opens the Start drop-down list, as shown in Figure 5, which includes the three Animation Events explained earlier.
