Adding Animation vs Changing Animation
Newsgroup regular Robert Lerner has graciously contributed his sample file which demonstrates fading in and out in PPT 2000. Definitely worth the 200kb download! Thanks, Robert!
And Ute Simon has graciously contributed a sample file of PPT 2002 and 2003 animations and transitions. Ute’s file is labeled in both German and English.
And another newsgroup regular, Glenna Shaw, contributed a sample file which demonstrates shadow techniques. It’s about 1.5MB, but it shows some really cool stuff! It looks fine in both PPT 2000 and 2002. Nice job, Glenna! Glenna’s gotten her own site going, so her shadow techniques file is now available there.
And here’s a sample file MVP Kathy Huntzinger and I made many moons ago. It uses the custom show feature to loop intro slides. Download FAQLoop.zip (13kb). This file was made in PPT 2000 (or 97?). TAJ’s methods for linking and looping files are usually better solutions for a variety of issues, but if you need just a simple introductory loop, the custom show loop is an easy thing to set up.
