Students, let us recall the basic concept of MS power point. A Presentation is a collection of
slides, arranged in a sequential manner, to convey new ideas and import information
effectively. A slide is like a page in a presentation, containing the brief information that you
want to communicate to your audience. In the previous class, you have learnt many features
like adding pictures, shapes, and charts, to enhance the look of a presentation. In this lesion,
you will learn some features of Power Point 2010 that make the presentation more interesting.
You will also know about the various views, in which, you can create and organize your
presentation.

APPLYING ANIMATION EFFECTS

Microsoft Power Point provides various tools and features to enhance the appearance of a
presention. These special effects assist you in making your presentation attractive, engaging,
and professional, and create a greater impact on the audience.

The ability to move objects like, graphics, charts, logos etc. in any direction of the slide is called
Animation.

Animation is quite beneficial when you to focus on important points. It also controls the
sequence of the flow of information and helps in making information more impressive. Besides
giving visual effects to your presentations, you can also sizzle up your slide obhjects-the text,
pictures, shapes, tables, SmartArt graphics etc., by applying sound effects.

Follow the given steps to apply animation effects to the slide objects:

 Open any Animation. Select the object you want to animate.

 Click on the Animations tab and select the Add Animation button present in the
Advanced Animation group
  A drop-down menu will appear with four different kids of animation effects, which are
as follows:
1. Entrance: As the name suggests, these effects decide the manner in which an object
enters into a slide during the slide show. These effects make an objects fade gradually
into focus, fly onto the slide from an edge, bounce into view and soon.
2. Exit: these effects control the manner in which the object exits from the slide during the
slide show. Some of these effects are: Disappear, Fade, Fly out, Fly in, etc.
3. Emphasis: these effects determine how the objects on the slide draw attention to
themselves during the slide show. These effects an object shrink or grow in size, change
color, or spin on its center, etc.
4. Motion Paths: you can use these effects to make an objects miove up oe down, left or
right, or in a star or circular pattern, etc.these effects enable the objects to move from
one position to another on a slide and on the specified path during the slide show.

To view more animation effects of each category, select the desired option available at the
bottom of the Add Animation group to select an object’s animation effects.

You can add more than one animation effects to the same obect or can apply the same
animation effects to multiple objects by using the options in the Animation group.
