Grow/Shrink Animation PP 2003

[Nicole]

We have a slide with 9 pictures on it. We would like to highlight each
picture with the Grow/Shrink animation. Picture goes in the middle, grows,
shrinks and goes back to its place on the slide.

The problem starts with the second picture as we would like it also to be
"on top" using the "bring to front" option. However, this can only be used
once on the slide, namely with the first picture. Going round the problem the
pictures are now placed/distributed on other slides within the presentation
but surely there must be a cleaner solution?!

Does anyone know how the animation can be set so that every picture will
stay in the front and not be covered by the other pictures on the slide?

Many thanks.

Hi Nicole,

I had to solve a similar problem. As there is no option to bring a picture
to the front (there might be a VBA solution, though), I used a small and a
large version of the same picture and made the large version appear with a
"Zoom in" animation and disappear with a similar animation afterwards. This
solves another problem: the picture quality becomes very pixilated, if you
use the Grow/Shrink animation for the small picture.

Kind regards,
Ute

Hi Ute,

Many thanks for your reply. Good hint with the picture quality.

I think I managed to solve it in the meantime. I grouped the 9 pictures and
sent it backward. I then created for each picture another animation to
appear, animated path to the location it should go to and finally used
grow/shrink and to fade/disappear afterwards. Sounds confusing but at least
it works now with all the requirements the user wanted.

Thanks again for your help.

Regards

Nicole
