Select the Effect You Want

The

Custom Animation dialog box contains four tabbed pages of effects you can add to the selected object. Click each tab to view the choices available. You can choose an

Entrance effect to control how the selected object first appears (such as flying in from the left), an

Emphasis effect to control how the object behaves on the slide (such as spinning in place), an

Exit effect (such as having the object dissolve into the background), or a

Motion Paths effect to add motion to the object (such as having the object move along an oval-shaped path). Choose an option from the

Speed list at the bottom of the

Custom Animation dialog box to adjust the speed of the selected effect.

On each tabbed page, the effects are organized into categories such as

Moderate and

Special to help you find the right look for your presentation. If you leave the

Automatic Preview check box enabled, you can click any effect and see how it looks in your presentation. When you've found the right animation, click the

OK button.

After you've assigned the desired effect, the

Custom Animation category in the

Tasks pane change depending on what type of effect you have assigned. You can change the settings for the effect, for example, if you want the object to fly in more slowly or want to change the type of effect altogether. Whenever you make a change in the

Tasks pane, the new effect plays in the work area.
