Make Animated Objects Appear Automatically
To make animated objects appear automatically as you run your slide show, instead of when you click the mouse, select the object on the Animation Order list, then click the Timing tab. (To get to this screen, first open the slide that you want to animate. Then from the Slide Show menu choose Custom Animation. In the dialogue window that appears, you will see the Animation Order list in the top left corner.) In the Start Animation section, click Automatically, then enter the number of seconds you want to pass before the object displays. To maintain control over when the object appears, choose On Mouse Click instead. Click the Effects tab to make changes to the animation effects. When you finish setting animation effects in the Custom Animation dialog box, click OK, then display your presentation as a Slide Show to see the effects full-screen.
