Hi,

Added an opinions section:

Everyone should read the first one about time limits!

Revised the navigation as well. Got some exciting stuff coming (well, I
think so) as soon as I can get it done between major projects.

Hello Glenn,

You actually can change the order in which the nodes are animated in
SmartArt(tm) diagrams. However it involves a bit of trickery.

1) Apply the same animation effect to the entire SmartArt(tm) diagram
multiple times.

2) Expand the list of effects in the Custom Animation Pane. You should see
something like:

(group 1)
<node 1 effect>
<node 2 effect>
<node 3 effect>
...
(group 2)
<node 1 effect>
<node 2 effect>
<node 3 effect>
....

John,

Of course. Cool! I'll do some fixing. Goes from Opinions to a tutorial, I
guess :-)

Folks, there is never any embarrassment with John Langhans knowing more than
us mere mortals, because John knows just about everything with PowerPoint
<vbg>.
