                        ANIMATIONS


                 Animations are special visual effects that you add to text and different objects on a slide.
                 Animation effects enhance the appearance of the slide in the presentation. Animated objects
                 make a presentation more interesting and attractive. You can also use them to highlight the
                 main points in your presentation. PowerPoint also has various options to set the order and
                 timing of the animations to suit your needs.
