Animations in slides

Hello Clare,

Thank you for your question.

As you might know, any slides with animations will have a star icon next to the slide in the thumbnail view on the left of the PowerPoint window.

On a specific slide, to see what is animated, you need to click the Animations tab in the ribbon above. PowerPoint will display numbers on animated items.

To remove animations, unfortunately there is no quick way to remove all animations in the entire deck with one click.

On each slide, you will need to press Ctrl + A to select all animations on that slide, then in the Animations ribbon, select 'None' to clear the animations before creating new ones.

I hope this helps.

Kind regards
