Using animation to remove items from a slide

R

Robert McN

I'm using PowerPoint 2000 and I'm wondering how to use animation to remove
items from a screen. It seems that all the animation effects add new graphic
elements into the picture (by flying in, disolving, etc.). As such, the
effects add new information to the slide. What I'd like to do is just the
opposite: I'd like to begin with a complete slide and then with the mouse
click, I'd like text or graphic elements to fade away or in some other way,
be removed from the picture. Any thoughts on this would be most appreciated.
Thanks,
Bob

In PowerPoint 2002/XP and above, exit animations are introduced. You can't do
this in PowerPoint 2000 and below.

Hi,

It is called "masking", or at least that is what I termed it. It is not
easy. But cover your thing you want to exit with something that is identical
to the slide background, and then make it enter. Exit animations in reverse.

For a better way, upgrade. It is so much easier!

I will only reply to this last comment by Steve, by I want to thank all of
the respondents. I figured out the idea of duplicating a slide and deleting
the element. What happens, then is just the element disappears, without a
transition. I don't quite see how you use the transition. I'm leaving in
the morning for my presentation, so I might not be able to do this anyway,
but for future presentations I'd like to know.
Thanks again,
Bob
