Question

How do I add animations in PowerPoint?

What are the different types of animations in PowerPoint?

Answer

1. To begin to add animation you choose the item you want to animate and then go to the Animation tab on your Ribbon
2. This will give you some basic animations you may set for that chosen item. You may also choose to add specific animations for the item’s entrance into the slide, to highlight the item already within the slide, or for the item’s exit from the slide
3. To do this you would click on the Animation Icon
   1. click the dropdown arrow to see the animations that are listed for the three different areas that you can add animation to
      • Entrance       
      • Emphasis         
      • Exit                      
4. There are More Options for each of these animation styles as well as Motion Paths
   1. With the Motion Paths option you may use a prearranged shape that PowerPoint provides, or you may draw your own path that you would like your item to travel
