Clip art animations not moving

Hi,
I just got a Macbook and am trying to create a PPT presentation using clip art animations. However, whenever i insert a clip art animation it does not move when i play the slide show. I am not sure if i have to enable something on the PPT program?
Thank you so much!

I'm having the same problem, Shannon. I even downloaded the clip art animations again to see if cutting and pasting them from another ppt presentation was the problem. The animations work fine on my windows computer.

Have you figured out a solution yet?

This is a known issue in Office 2008. The workaround is to insert animated
pictures as a movie to see them animate. Some related threads are at:

You have to insert the art animation via movies. After click on the imported
animation and click on "Loop" check box. Play the slide show and the
animation will continue without stopping.
