PowerPoint animation timings

Hi,

Please would you let me know how I put a pause in animation.

I have one slide in which various text fades in and out over an image, and would like to keep the words up for a second or 2 before they fade out again.

Thanks,
Norah.

RE: PowerPoint animation timings

One thing you can do is press S for stop and S again for start to create a pause in your animation

Good luck

RE: PowerPoint animation timings

It is just one page which will be left up, going continuously, without a presenter as such. Is there a way of programming it so it happens automatically?

Thanks,
Norah.

RE: PowerPoint animation timings

Hi Norah,

Yes.

Ensure task pane is on (View -> Task Pane).
Switch task pane to 'Slide Transition' (see drop down menu at top).
At bottom of task pane, see 'Advance slide' section. You can tick the box 'automatically after' and put the number of minutes and seconds you would like the slide to stay on for.

Hope this helps!

Regards, Rich

Hi Norah,

Thank you for your question.

Once you have applied an animation to your text, you will need to edit the animation item.

1) Make sure Tools > Custom Animation is switched on
2) Double click on animation item (right side of Window)
3) Timing tab
4) Change speed
5) Click ok

Hope this helps.

Katie

PowerPoint tip:

Use Paint Brush to do Multiple Formating in Powerpoint

To copy a format from one piece of text or from a Text box in Powerpoint to multiple words or Text boxes

1. Select the word/text box with the format that you want to copy

2. Double-click on the paint brush icon on the Toolbar

When you move to the word/text box where you want to paste the format you will notice that a paint brush follows the cursor.

Paste the format to all the words and text boxes you need to format.

When finished go back to the paint brush on the Toolbar and single click on it to deactivate the function.
