MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / March 2007Superimposing Animation over Animation
I have a slide with three ovals in a horizontal line, each with text inside, and an arrow pointing from oval one to oval two, and from oval two to oval three. I want the entire pattern to appear at once, but I couldn't figure out how to do that with one animation, so I animated the five objects to all appear at the same time. Kind of sloppy, but it did what I wanted! But once these objects appear, I then also want a large X to appear over them, essentially crossing them out, and I can't figure out how to do this. I tried to superimpose a rectangle over the objects, but I didn't know how to draw the X inside it. I also tried this unsuccessfully with a text box. Could someone please help me with this? To get the five shapes to appear together either do what you did or ctrl click to select them all and then right click and choose grouping > group. For the X insert a text box, type in an X, select it and make it red and say 96 points (if you want bigger type the number in manually) drag it over the shapes and give it an entrance animation. Make this "with previous" and then double click the entry and in the timing tab set a delay of whatever you would like. Easier to do than describe!!

The X wasn't quite right because it didn't actually cross out all three ovals, but the sample cross-out worked very well. Thanks to you both. -Andrea > I have done a sample on this.
