PowerPoint 2003

[cynthia.behnam1]

I cannot seem to place a macro on a customized toolbar in PowerPoint 2003. I
went through the "How to Steps" on your site, but they did not work for me?
Appreciate if you could provide the steps necessary to perform this action.

The next question involves Custom Animation regarding choosing between: 1)
Click, 2) With Previous, and 3) After Previous. I'm not understanding how to
select these options? Please explain.

Sincerely,

Hi Cynthia

As for your secound question, Microsoft has 3 great courses on using
animation; the first one is here:
http://office.microsoft.com/trainin...ID=RC060786731033&CTT=6&Origin=RC060786731033

The specific info you are after is under 'Start the effect' but I think
you'll find it worth while to do the whole course (and the 2 that follow).

Lucy

Dear Lucy:

Thank you for responding. I am confused with the animation timings. For
the first automation to begin, would you choose "Click" or With Previous,
with the information on www.microsoft.com, and am not getting it with the
differences and when to use.

Could you possibly explain this to me in a more user friendly format?

Click: Nothing happens automatically. The animation will be run when the
mouse is clicked or the space bar is hit in the order of the animations.

With Previous: Automatically happens at the same time as the previous
thing. For example, you might want two pictures show up at the same
time. You would put the second one right after the first in animation
order and set the second one to With Previous.

After Previous: Automatically happens AFTER the previous animation (how
long after is governed by the delay you set). For example, you might
want to have one picture come in, wait 3 seconds and have the next one
come in. You could set the second one to After Previous with a 3 second
delay.

For the first animation on a slide, think of the slide transition (i.e.,
actually going to the slide it is on so if you want it to not happen
automatically but wait for your click, choose On Click. If you want it
to happen immediately, you can choose With Previous or After Previous
with 0 delay. For it to happen automatically but after a few seconds,
choose After Previous and pick a delay time.

Your welcome. I just figured it was the middle of the night in Australia so
you wouldn't be answering for a few more hours, and I'd answer just before
my afternoon nap
