Question to Tony Osime and David Marcovitz-HELP ME PLEASEEEEEE

[Joya]

You helped me with my grow and shrink problem on PP, however I think I must
have listed the wrong version, b/c I cannot find Effect Options so that I can
do Auto Reverse, I also looked at Microsoft help and it says PP 2002, would
the version affect the answer you gave me?If so I have PP 2002, can you tell
me what to do with that version to get my picture to shrink again?

Joya,
The answer should be the same, as far as animations go Powerpoint 2002 (Xp)
and Powerpoint 2003 are the same.
Have you tried double clicking on your animation in the taskpane, on the
timing tab you should find the autoreverse.

Joya,
From the animations task pane, right click the effect you want to
auto-reverse. Effect Options should be on that menu.

As others have pointed out, you need to look for it in the Animation
pane. That is, when you click on an object, you can choose Custom
Animation from the Slide Show Window. On the right side of the screen,
you should see the animation pane, and on the left, you should see
(taking up about 4/5ths of the screen), you should see the rest of your
PowerPoint slide with the object selected. This is probably what you did
to add the animation.

Now, you want to look at the Animation pane on the right side of the
screen. The bottom portion of that pane lists all the animations you have
added for that slide. It should list the object you have animated with
Grow/Shrink. Look for that object on the list and click on it. You should
see an arrow to the right of the object in the list (remember, we are
looking in the animation pane on the right). Click on the arrow, and you
should see a come down that includes Effect Options. Click on Effect
Options.

Now a dialog box should pop up. If you have actually selected the
Grow/Shrink animation, you should see a check box (under Settings) for
Auto-reverse. Check it. Click OK.

That should do it. Let us know if you need any more help. Sorry I wasn't
clear last time.

Under Tools - Options - Edit you can turn off the new animations of
PowerPoint 2002/2003, the animation dialog box looks like in the old
versions then. Please make sure that NONE of the last three check-boxes is
checked if you want to have all new animations available.

Kind regards,
Ute
