how to insert "flying" jigsaw pieces into a PP presentation

[Mary Florine]

I am trying to create a presentation to include slides with something like
jigsaw puzzle pieces flying in when moving on to the next point (all within
the same slide)

Which version of PPT are you using?

Are you asking how to do the animation, or where to find the jigsaw puzzle
pieces?

Assuming you have some basic MS paint or photo software skills.
1. Go to brainsbreaker.com and down load jigsaw software.
2. There are several ways of creating puzzle pieces depending on the look
you want. You can choose the sizes of the puzzle pieces as well as the size
of the picture.
3. One way is to create a jig saw of a "white" square of the size puzzle you
want on the slide.
4. With your mouse pick each puzzle piece and create a picture of it and
make the white transparent.
5. Fly in each piece and fit it to your slide.
6. You can fly in one piece at a time on a mouse click or timed entrance. Or
set your fly in timing to occur "with previous" ( even though they all start
together, they will stop flying based on their position on the slide).
7. For a nice effect. start your slide with a completed puzzle with blank
pieces then fly in a complete picture one piece at a time.

Wow! The more I think of this the more variations I come up with.
You might even want to leave one piece of the puzzle out. Tell everyone you
lost it behind the couch somewhere.

I've got a five-piece jigsaw puzzle sample slide that I could send you so
you could modify the text on the pieces. basically it was one of the PPT 97
clipart images that I converted and ungrouped and animated onto a slide.

If you are interested, send me a message to the following:

and I will send you the slide.
