Expanding Object in PowerPoint

[Carl]

Please help.

What I am asking is how to keep the Grow & Shrink Effect open after it grew
until I click for it to reduce back to its previous size. Using the reverse
check box simply returns the full grown object back to its previous size.
Un-checking the Reverse check box keeps the grow open to the size it grew but
does not reduce to the previous size which I need.

Another words, grow to the designated size, stay that size until I click,
and then reduce back to its normal size.

This is what I am trying to accomplish. Can you help? The problem is
simply getting the expanded object back to its previous size after I click.

John Wilson, Thank you for your responses to this point.

Carl,
1. Create the first grow animation of 150%
2. Create another shrink animation for custom value of 66.67

That should do it.
Grow and shrink use the dimensions of the shape at the time of the animation
for compting the animation.
If the shape is 100 points originally and expands to 150 points. To restore
back to to the original size you can compute the percentage shrinkage as
follows:
100/150*100= 66.67

Hi Carl,
After growing the object, you will need to add another Grow/Shrink Effect to
have it resume to its original size.
If you have added for instance, 400% (100% * 4) on the object to enlarge it,
you will need to add 25% (100% / 4) on the object to shrink it back.
Hope it helps.
