motionpath objects @ beginning instead of being hidden until anima

[Stacy_MH]

I have 30+ objects functioning properly when I set up their animation. I
however, have now assigned two objects to be set on a motion path and they
appear at the start of the slide and don't go away until their animation
appears later on in the slide. How do i get them to disappear at the
beginning of the slide?

 

[Echo S]

Add an "appear" animation to the object and set it to occur just before (or
at the same time as) the beginning of its motion path.

Just remember that a motion path does not equal "appear and move," and you
should be okay.

Make sense?

Churley,
That's very bizarre behavior that I cannot reproduce here even if I do
things the wrong way. Wait a minute. Are you turning the gridlines
back on in Excel? That would do it and the only thing I can think of.

Wrong thread, Bri-guy.
