rotation animation

[Markie]

I want to draw a coin (a circle) with two faces and use animation to make it
rotate around so we keep seeing one side and then the other. Basically a
slowly spinning coin. Can this be done in power point (I have 2003 and 2007)?

I know the program has the power, because the "swivel" choice within the
"entry" animation options does almost exactly this. But it's only an entry
animation, goes only a few times, and you can't have a back side on your
object that appears when it swivels. I looked through the "emphasis"
animation options, but there is nothing there.

Thanks
Mark

Hi Mark

See if this is what you want:
1. Draw the front & back of your coin and line them up
2. Add a 'collapse' exit animation to the front of the coin
3. Change speed to 'fast' or slower
4. Add a 'stretch' entrance animation to the back of the coin
5. Change the speed to the same as the front and make it start 'after
previous'
6. Press the play button to see just how clever you are

Hello to Lucy and to Markie

Your posts are very useful thanks very much and I have sort of animated a
spinning coin effect. Do you know if there a way of repeating it, or looping
it so that, for example, it swivels front-back-front-back-front
back-front-back.

Best regards

Hi

That depends. You can set the slide to loop, but that would only work if
there are no other animations on the slide. Or you could try fudging it by
guessing (that is rehearsing until you know) how long you will want the
slide up for and creating enough animations to cover that time.

It is a shame that you can't repeat groups of animations, only single ones,
as it would be handy.
