Advanced Animation

Hi
I was testing out some of my new skills last night and when selecting a shape I'd drawn (a line) to "whip" the whip option (amongst others) was greyed out.

any idea why?

thanks

RE: Advanced Animation

Hello Charlie,

Depending on the object you are attempting to animate, some animations will not be available as they are not possible on that type of object, e.g. if I try to animate the Flip (letters drop in to the screen) on a photo or clip art, this option is greyed out as its not possible to apply.

I hope this resolves your question. If it has, please mark this question as resolved.

If you require further assistance, please reply to this post. Or perhaps you have another Microsoft Office question?

Have a great day.
Regards,

RE: Advanced Animation

Hi Mark

I was trying to re-do the process flow diagram we did in the training. So the "whip" was on the line I'd drawn between the first and 2nd boxes. It worked during the training which was why I was unsure it had greyed out during my test at home. I'll give it another go and if it's still not working, I'll contact you again

thanks
Charlie

Hello Charlie,

Are you sure it wasn't the Wipe animation, thats what we used in class to give the illusion of the line being drawn!!

Have a great day.

PowerPoint tip:

Capture Screenshots in Powerpoint 2010

A great new feature to Powerpoint 2010 is the "screen clipping" command. This allows you to capture an image on your screen directly via powerpoint.

Go to your insert tab on the ribbon and in the images box you will see "sreenshot", click on the arrow and select "screen clipping". Powerpoint will minimise and you will be taken to the next open application or your desktop. Wait a few seconds a your screen will grey out a little and your mouse curser will turn into a + sign. Hold your mouse down and select the area you wish to capture. When you let go of your mouse the selected area will be exported into your powerpoint presentation as an image which you can edit.

It really simple and very effective, give it a go!

This feature is also available on Excel and Word.
