spin animation

[Russ]

Hi: I want to add a custom animation to one of my Power Point 2007
slides. I want to spin an object that I have drawn. I can easily do
this with Custom Animation -> Emphasis -> Spin.

But, I what I can't control is the center of rotation. I want to make
the object spin about a fixed point of my choosing. How can i do
this?

To understand what I'm trying to do follow this: Picture in your mind
a clock face with 3 hands on it, all at different positions. I want
my animation to spin just like those hands would - around the center
of the clock. The best i can do results in a "wobbled" spin.

thanks,
russ

Titled "linking" - it shows how to rotate what looks like the from the
corner of an object, using the 'spin' animation. The trick is to group your
object with another identical object (but make the 2nd object invisible)
