APPLYING ANIMATION

                 An animation refers to the addition of visual effects to objects on a slide. These effects can make objects appear,
                 disappear, move, or change in other ways during a slide show. Animations can be applied to various elements such as
                 text, images, shapes, and charts to make the presentation more dynamic and engaging. We use Normal view to apply
                 animation to the objects. The steps to apply an animation effect are as follows:

                 Step 1:  Select the desired slide in the Normal view.
                 Step 2:   Select the text or object you wish to apply an animation. Let us choose an image.
                 Step 3:  Click on the View → Animation option from the Menu bar.
                         OR
                           Right-click  on  the  image  and  select  the  Animation option  from the context menu. The  Animation pane
                         appears on the right-hand side.
                 Step 4:   Click on the  +Add  button  under the  Effects section.  The different
                         categories of Animation effects appear in the Animation pane, which
                         are as follows:
                        •  Entrance: Starting animation for the object. For example, Appear,
                           Checkers, etc.
                        •  Emphasis: Effects  like different font colour  or blinking  text. For
                           example, Change Fill Color, Change Font, Change Font Size, etc.
                        •  Exit: Animation when leaving the object. For example, Box, Circle,
                           Crawl out, etc.
                        •  Motion Paths: Direction of movement of an animation. For example,
                           Curve, Polygon, Free form line, etc.
                        •  Misc Effects: Any other miscellaneous  effect. For example, End
                           Media, Start Media, Toggle Pause, etc.
                 Step 5:   Select the desired animation. In this case, we have selected Appear
                         animation from the Effect list box.
                 Step 6:  Click on OK button.
                 Step 7:  The properties of the selected animation get active in Animation pane, which are as follows:
                         • Start: It contains following options:
                              w On click: The animation stops at this effect until the next mouse click.
                              w With previous: The animation runs at the same time as the previous animation.
                              w After previous: The animation runs as soon as the previous animation ends.
                        •  Direction: Choose From Right or any other in the drop-down list.
                        •  Duration: Enter a time in seconds for how long the animation lasts.
                        •  Delay: Enter a timing delay in seconds for when the animated object appears in the presentation in the
                           Delay box.
                        •  Automatic Preview: To preview the animation effect, click on the Play button. If necessary, select Automatic
                           Preview checkbox so that each time the animation is changed, there is a preview of the effect.
                 Step 8:  Select Slide Show → Start From the Current Slide option to check your presentation.
