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

Tracy

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.

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

RE: PowerPoint animation timings

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
