entries in a table appear one at a time

[Guest]

powerpoint v10 SP3 (from office XP)


I am trying to get entries in a table appear one at a time, on a mouse
click.

I have created a table and added tiles to the columns.

I have added data to the cell and select

CUSTOM ANIMATION

and selected appear.


but I can't get the data to appear on each mouse click, the whole table
and data appears at once.

how can, if possible, to get the data to appear one cell at a time?

I have a work around, overlay a text box over the table and put the
results in the text box, but it's a bit of a pain as the line alignment
is not true do there is a lot of fiddling about with adding spaces
before the paragraph marks.

there must be an easy way to do this


thanks

You can ungroup the table from the Draw button and then work on each part
individually. Does that solve your problem?

You could have a table for every line you want to appear and make the borders
of these tables deselected so they are invisible.

Yes that works, thanks

it does make it difficult to amend the table later on but it does the
job.

Thanks again.

If you dont mind a larger file you can also use several near duplicate slides
each showing a new part of the table. The advantage of this is that you can
incorporate eg arrows indicating important things, color borders for current
cell , anything else your imagination comes up with.

Thanks, I can see some advantages to this method.

It might be useful in some cases
