Animation in PowerPoint

[John]

Hello,

I am looking for a PowerPoint slide that I can have a picture to the left
and then have any number of smaller pictures fall into the slide and land to
the right of the big picture. Does anyone know if there is a template out
there that does that? Thanks.

There's not a template for this, but it's not terribly difficult to set up.
Use the links Paul gave to post your question in the PPT group, and I'm sure
people will be able to get you started.

And to think I'm stripping out goofy animations like that from a
presentation for my boss. I told him it looks like someone read a book and
felt the need to apply anything and everything they could think of. I'll
admit that the topic is boring but the crap they put in the slideshow is
completely useless.

I don't like extraneous animation, but I can still accept that there are
times when it's more than appropriate, and the described animation doesn't
seem out of line to me. I wouldn't want to sit through a whole speaker-led
presentation full of it, but a slide or two wouldn't bother me. And then
there's the whole kiosk situation, where eye candy can be a *good* thing.

I agree but this is a presentation on best practices for guys who are
assembling the electrical cables and connectors on military vehicles. I
should send it to you - you'll pee yourself laughing at it.

Yes, but I was answering a question for the original poster, not talking
about the file you're dealing with.

I've probably seen worse.
