Reverse wheel effect?

[Bob Ostwald]

Greetings.

Is it possible to simply reverse the direction of the wheel entrance effect?
Thank you.

See some of you at PPT Live.

Not that I can figure out. Wonder if it could be done via VBA? Steve, Shyam,
etc. ? You guys got any ideas?

Okay, that's what I thought. I could use it today and just wanted to make
sure I hadn't missed something obvious. Thanks, Kathy.

I suggest you both look again.
It is there under Options. When I use the Wheel Effect it defaults to
"clockwise". You just need to change that to "counterclockwise".

I'm with Kathy and Bob -- I'm not seeing it. There's a Spin (emphasis)
effect that gives options for counterclockwise/clockwise.

Care to give us some specifics on where that setting can be found?

 

[Kathy Jacobs]

Leef_me,
Can you send me a screen shot with the option and your PPT version? I don't
see that option on either the entrance or the exit wheel animation in PPT
2003. I have options of the number of spokes and the sound/dim information.

Don't send the screenshot here to the newsgroup, I won't see it. Unknot my
email address to send me email.

Kathy,

I'll give it a try.
I have 2002 at home, but it will be a few hours before I can get to it.

If the object is round, then you can apply two animations to it to achieve a
'smoke and mirrors' reverse wheel effect.

Animation 1
Exit Wheel 4 spokes on click medium speed

Animation 2
Emphasis Spin counterclockwise quarter turn with previous


If you would, please, drop me an e-mail so I can shoot you a demo with a
better description.

Thanks, Bill. I am trying to animate a rectangular flow diagram. I tried
this anyway, but it didn't do what I needed. I know I can do what I want
with some more laborious workarounds, but I was just hoping for an easier
fix. Thanks.

Bob, Kathy, Echo S,

I appologize, I was mistaken in saying that CCW exists for 'wheel'. As
Echo S suggested, I probably confused Rotation with Wheel.

BUMMER! I was soooo hoping we'd just missed some setting and you'd found it!

 

[Bob Ostwald]

DOUBLE BUMMER! that the setting doesn't exist. Thanks, all, for your help.

BUMMER! I was soooo hoping we'd just missed some setting and you'd found
it!

All,
I found a kludge(sp?) method to do it, but requires using the Exit
Wheel effect and
VBA to turn on the auto-reverse option (there's no 'auto-reverse' check
box for the Exit Wheel effect, but it can be set or cleared in VBA)
and then you have to add another shape that hides the first half of the
animation,
then disappears to allow the reverse direction of Exit Wheel effect to
be seen.

The VBA to set/clear that bit is terrible as well. I couldn't write
reliable code for the concept of accessing the bit. Here is pseudocode
that likely doesn't work

FindFirstEffectFor(Selection.ShapeRange).Timing.AutoReverse = msoTrue
