if you really want to add some
excitement to your presentation try
adding some animations PowerPoint has a
wide variety of animation effects that
you can apply to text and objects I'm
creating a trivia night slideshow and
each trivia question will have the
answer on the following slide and I want
to add animations to this picture and to
the answer itself start by clicking on
an object and then go to the animations
tab and in the animation group you can
view the different types of effects that
are available
there are four different categories
entrance which will happen when the
object first appears on the slide
emphasis which happens while the object
is on the slide exit which causes the
object to disappear and motion paths
which move the object along a path
I'm going to choose float in which is an
entrance effect
for some effects you'll have effect
options for example this one lets you
choose a direction
now let's say I want to add a second
effect to this picture if I go back to
this menu and select one it's going to
replace the entrance effect instead I'll
need to go to add animation to add more
than one
it's easy to keep track of which
cheques have animations because they
will have numbers next to them one for
each effect and the slide will also have
this little star picture
if you want to preview the effects you
can just click the preview command
and I like these effects so I want to
apply the same ones to this text instead
of adding them one by one I can just use
the animation painter to copy them click
on the object that has the effects then
click animation painter and the cursor
will have this little paintbrush on it
and when you click on the other object
it will now have the same effects
we have four effects on this slide so
now would be a good time to open up the
animation pane to help us manage them it
will appear on the right side of the
screen and it lets you do a couple of
things you can click and drag the
effects if you want to reorder them
and you can also click the drop down
arrow to see more options for each
effect by default each effect starts
when you click the mouse but I don't
want to have to click for every single
one instead we can have the effect start
automatically at the same time as the
previous effect or after the previous
effect ends and that's what I want
I'm going to do the same thing for the
text box and trance effect this just
makes the animations flow more smoothly
since they're being triggered
automatically
if you click the drop down arrow again
and go to effect options you'll have a
dialog box where you can fine-tune the
animation and these options will vary
depending on which effect it is
you can also adjust the timing I'm going
to add a few seconds of delay to give
people a little more time to think of
the answer before it appears
and now I will play the slideshow so
that I can view the finished product
I'll click the mouse to trigger the
first effect and then after 3 seconds it
will trigger the next effect and then
the next one and the answer will stay on
the screen until I click the mouse again
perfect
so adding just a few animations can turn
a simple slideshow into a presentation
that's engaging and fun for your
audience to watch lightly Jesus saw
