Morph two objects...

[Leonhardtk]

Is there a way to morph two objects (such as a circle to a square). I
remember Harvard Graphics would let you identify two objects, and the steps
you wanted and it would morph to two, in the incrememts you stated. For
example, if you wanted 10 steps, you would have the two you started with,
plus the 10 steps used to do the morph. (I think the command was "evolve").

Thanks,

KSL

PowerPoint does not have any morphing options. However, there are several
Morphing programs out there: some better than others, I'm sure, but I am not
familiar enough with each of the programs to make a specific recommendation.
Most of theses software solutions create an AVI or movie file of the
morphing progression that can be inserted into PowerPoint.

Nothing as exact as the 'evolve' feature you describe (although that would
be great!). Assuming you are using PPT 2002/2003 here is how I achieve a
morphing effect:
1. Apply a MOTION PATH that ends at position of object 2.
2. Apply a FADE OUT effect to object 1, set to WITH PREVIOUS and VERY FAST.
Use the advanced timeline to adjust effect to end at the same time motion
path ends.
3. Apply a FADE IN effect to object 2, set to WITH PREVIOUS and FAST. Use
advanced timeline to adjust effect to begin a 10th of second after above
fade out begins.

Experiment a bit and see if this makes sense. I created a simple example
using this animation sequence, feel free to download and review animation
