MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / September 2007How do I use animation in a timeline in Power Point?
Hi, I just watched a presentation where the timeline was visible with a couple of years highlighted. When he clicked on the year a box would appear with a description of what happened that year. I can't seem to figure out how to do this. Thanks! Which part can't you figure out. The animation part is easy. Designing a comprehensible timeline is hard. If the descriptions, come up sequentially, then normal animation methods work fine. Just animate each piece in order. If you are using PowerPoint 2002 or above and you want a click to bring up whatever description is clicked, you will need animation triggers. There are several good tutorials about animation triggers online. For example: http://www.indezine.com/products/powerpoint/cool/trigger01.html http://pptheaven.mvps.org/tutorials/trigger.html --David  SignatureDavid M.

You might also want to look at this example where one trigger has two actions. You can use this to "pop up" and then "pop down" a text description. http://www.pptalchemy.co.uk/Triggers2.html Amazing PPT Hints, Tips and Tutorials- http://www.PPTAlchemy.co.uk http://www.technologytrish.co.uk email john AT technologytrish.co.uk > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Thanks! Does this mean that I need to create separate identical slides so that the text pops up then pops down? > You might also want to look at this example where one trigger has two > actions.
