Advanced PowerPoint:
Animate Images

Step-by-Step:Animate Image

---

What you will learn:

to apply custom animation to an image

---

Start with: ,  nz-pictures.ppt from the previous lesson

In PowerPoint 2002 the photos you inserted earlier with AutoLayout on have the same animation effect as the text.

The clip art image you added in the previous lesson was done with AutoLayout turned off. It is not animated at all. You can add an effect with Custom Animation.

Verify Animation Effects

1. If necessary, open nz-pictures.ppt from your Class disk.
    
2. Play the slide show and verify that all of the photos are using the same effect as the text. The clipart image on the last slide should not be animated.
    
   Photos not animated: Be sure AutoLayout is on [Tools | Autocorrect Options... | AutoFormat as you type - check the box for AutoLayout for inserted objects] . Then delete the image and reinsert it. (All photos came from your resource files.)
    
3. On the last slide, select the clip art globe with airplane.
    
4. From the menu select  Slide Show | Custom Animation... 
   The pane shows in gray the effects that are applied by the slide master.
   
    
5. Click the Play button at the bottom of the pane. A progress bar appears as each effect is played. This can be quite helpful when you have several effects going on. The time it takes can be longer than you expect.

Add Custom Animation

1. With the clip art image selected, click in the task pane on Add Effect, then Entrance. The Add Entrance Effect list appears.
    
2. Scroll down to the Exciting section and select Light Speed and click on OK.
   
   The clip art now has a 1 beside it and the Custom Animation list shows a new effect. The awkward name of the image is listed - j0199809.
    
3. Click on the Play button to see how the slide will appear now.
4. Similarly, add custom animation to each of the photos so that they Wipe into view from the left after the bullet text items. [Wipe, From Left]
    
5. Save As nz-animate.ppt to your Class disk.
   [If you are using floppy disks, you may need to start using a new one, if you have not had to already.]
