Applying an animation effect
In Normal View, display the desired slide.
Select the text or object you want to
animate. An object such as a graphic or an
entire text box will have green handles
around it when selected. If you choose only
a portion of the text in a text box, you may
not see any green handles.
In the Tasks pane, choose Custom
Animation (Figure 162).
Click Add. The Custom Animation dialog
box (Figure 163) appears. Choose an effect
from one of the pages of this dialog box,
and choose the speed or duration of that
effect. See the example on page 214 for
some hints on how to combine multiple
effects.
To choose the animation to be applied when
the object is placed on the screen, use an
effect from the
Entrance
page, for example
Fly In
or
Dissolve In
.
Use the
Emphasis
page to apply an effect
that changes the font color or applies
special effects to the text such as blinking
text.
To choose the effect to be applied when the
object is leaving the page, use the
Exit
page.

showing Custom
Animation page
If you want the object to move along a line or curve, select an
animation from the
Motion Paths
page. An example of this type of
animation is provided in “Example: Setting up a motion path” on page
217.
Click OK to save the effect and return to the Custom Animation page
on the Task pane. Here you can choose how to start the animation,
change the speed, and apply some additional properties of the selected
effect.
