MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / October 2007Repeating an animation sequence
Comrades, I do apologise because I think this question has been answered before, but a long, long time ago :-) I would like to repeat a sequence of animations. For example, to fade an object in with an entrance animation and then fade it out with an exit animation, and then to repeat that sequence "until end of slide". I seem to remember an add-in was recommended that does this. And I also seem to recall it was PPTools. But when I look at the Starter Set Plus, here... http://www.pptools.com/starterset/index.html I can't see this function listed. I'm about to purchase PPTools anyway, but I wanted to include this capability in a justification as it's something that would be really useful. Cheers, Geoff Have a look at the add-in here: http://officeone.mvps.org/anims/anims.html Also, looping a slide with multiple animations requires custom show. Check out the tutorial here: http://msmvps.com/blogs/tohlz/archive/2006/09/10/Looping-a-slide-with-multiple-a nimations.aspx  SignatureShawn Toh (tohlz) Microsoft MVP PowerPoint Site Updated: Oct 20, 2007 (Amazing PowerPoint animations, artworks, games here) http://pptheaven.mvps.org PowerPoint Heaven - The Power to Animate > Comrades, > I do apologise because I think this question has been answered before, but a [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > Cheers, > Geoff In addition to Shawn's reply you can olso do this with tiny amount of vba here the code Sub repeatme() Dim i As Integer i = ActivePresentation.SlideShowWindow.View.CurrentShowPosition ActivePresentation.SlideShowWindow.View.GotoSlide i, msoTrue End Sub now simply add a 99% transparent full slide shape to the slide with a mouse over action of run macro and have the shape appear at the end of your animations (probably with a short delay.) Make sure that you also have a button to move to the nest slide and "break out" of the cycle SignatureAmazing PPT Hints, Tips and Tutorials- http://www.PPTAlchemy.co.uk http://www.technologytrish.co.uk email john AT technologytrish.co.uk > Comrades, > I do apologise because I think this question has been answered before, but a [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > Cheers, > Geoff That's great, thanks to you both! > In addition to Shawn's reply you can olso do this with tiny amount of vba > [quoted text clipped - 37 lines] >> Cheers, >> Geoff > Comrades, > I do apologise because I think this question has been answered before, but a [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > I'm about to purchase PPTools anyway, but I wanted to include this > capability in a justification as it's something that would be really useful. None of the PPTools add-ins do anything with animations, Geoff. Sha "Tohlz" wn is one of our resident animation wizards. I think he's got you pointed in the right direction. What else bugs you about PPT. Maybe I can help justify the purchase some other way. <g> If you do anything that requires naming or tagging shapes, presentations or slides, or need to edit links, the "pig" tool's worth the cost of admission (IMO, but then I wrote it. Biased, y'know.) ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ Hi Steve, Actually PPTools is so cheap I don't need the additional justification - it was just a feature that was easy to articulate, and for which we have an immediate need :-) Just going to buy it now. Have been on the road this week with intermittent Internet access. Cheers, Geoff >> Comrades, >> I do apologise because I think this question has been answered before, [quoted text clipped - 37 lines] > PPTools: www.pptools.com > ================================================ |
