After you add an animation to a selected slide object, you typically set an animation event. Another animation property you can set thereafter is the speed of the animation. Every animation you add within PowerPoint 2016 has a fixed, default speed. This speed essentially is a duration shown in seconds or part thereof and differs from animation to animation. For example, the default duration of a Fade animation is half a second (00.50) whereas for the Wheel animation, it is two seconds (02.00).

Once you add an animation to any slide object, you can play the animation in Slide Show view by clicking your mouse cursor or pressing the spacebar on your keyboard. Another option is to use a button on a presentation remote. Each of these options advances one animation at a time, or may even take you to the subsequent slide. However, if you add that many animations to any slide, you probably want your animations to be automatically sequenced and play one after the other without a click, and that’s exactly where PowerPoint’s animation events can help.

We first look at how insecure a slide can make people! Is that because as human beings, we like to believe we are perfect and always look out for excuses that may cover our mistakes? Also, do we use PowerPoint exactly the same way as we use Word or Excel? Is that the reason why people end up with dumb slides? We look at this aspect too. We then look at the various Office 365 subscription options. This for all of you who are so confused by the many options that Microsoft provides, and don’t know where to begin exploring the differences.
PowerPoint 2016 for Windows users can learn about the types of animations. We also look specifically at Entrance and Emphasis animations. PowerPoint 2016 for Mac users can learn about keyboard sequences and Guides.

By default, animation effects are numbered in the order in which they are applied to slide objects. You might need to reorder your animations mainly because you may have more than one animated object on a slide, and re-sequencing of animations as they happen in relation to each other may provide a better result. Or you may just want some animations to happen before other animations. Also, there are logical reasons to reorder animations since typically entrance and exit animations need to be the first and last animations for any slide object. PowerPoint’s Reorder option for animations lets you play with their sequencing.
