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.

Right-click on the image and select the Animation option from the context menu. The Animation pane

categories of Animation effects appear in the Animation pane, which
are as follows:
• Entrance: Starting animation for the object. For example, Appear,

example, Change Fill Color, Change Font, Change Font Size, etc.

Crawl out, etc.

Curve, Polygon, Free form line, etc.
