Layering of frames?

Hi, hope someone can help?

I'm using 2008 Powerpoint - and a relative newbie to MAC!!

I wish to enter several frames onto a single slide, with the intention of revealing the individual layers, each after a mouse click or time delay.
I'm struggling, because I don't yet understand the process, and am getting stuck when I add the frames, as I can't then seem to access the first frame in order to reposition it (I'm really trying to animate the whole sequence).

I guess the three part question is:

1 Help - when I wish to set a frame (or group of frames) in front, or behind the original one(s), how is this achieved (what sequence of menu buttons do I need to access?)

2 Help in setting up the sequencing of the frames 'appearing' after the mouse click/time delay - how is this achieved?

3 Whether a macro would be useful to set up, as I wish to incorporate the ideas into several projects.

I realise it's a lot to ask from a novice perspective, yet any help would be sincerely appreciated.

Thanks in keen anticipation,

The objects need to be stacked atop one another but each one will need to
have the desired Animation Effects applied to it. See PPT Help on the
subject: Animate text and objects. It should provide the answers to 1 & 2.

As for 3, a macro would be useless since macros require VBA which isn't
supported in Office 2008. I'm not sure that it would really be that useful -
nor would Apple Script - since the content & settings would be different for
each item in the stack.
