Animation

=Animation - Standard=

The recommended process for animating something on a PowerPoint slide:


 * 1) Click on the text, image or shape to be animated
 * 2) Click on the box that just appeared around the item (This ensures that the entire item is selected)
 * 3) Now to animate the selected item:
 * Office 2000/2003 > Tools > Custom Animation > click the "Add Effect" button > Entrance > choose an subtle "Entrance" effect (like "Fade")
 * Office 2007/2010 > Animations > choose an subtle "Entrance" effect (like "Fade") > click the "Animation Pane" button to display the animation list

The animation should now be listed in the "pane" to the right of the slide and look something like this:

The "drop-down" arrow at the right end of the animation provides access to several helpful options that will be used in later techniques.
