I have a slide with 2 pictures on it. In the middle of a series of animations, i want the one picture to move in a quite complex path. Later on i want the picture to move in the same path again. Is there a way to copy an animation

Hi Lorry,

if it is the same picture: YES. Apply the motion path to the picture, then
copy it. It will be copied WITH the animation path. (You might want to add
an "Appear" animation, so that the copy is not visible from the beginning.)

Kind regards,
Ute

This is probably too simple, but...
You can certainly make a duplicate of the first slide, and it wil
have the same motion path on it. then you can edit each slide individually
so they are different slides, but have at least the motion path in common.

genius is simplicity...thank you

Hello,

If it is important to you (or anyone else reading this message) that
PowerPoint include the ability to copy animation settings from one object
to another (without having to resort to VBA or add-ins), don't forget to
send your feedback to Microsoft at:

http://register.microsoft.com/mswish/suggestion.asp

It's VERY important that, for EACH wish, you describe in detail, WHY it is
important TO YOU that your product suggestion be implemented. A good wish
submssion includes WHAT scenario, work-flow, or end-result is blocked by
not having a specific feature, HOW MUCH time and effort ($$$) is spent
working around a specific limitation of the current product, etc. Remember
that Microsoft receives THOUSANDS of product suggestions every day and we
read each one but, in any given product development cycle, there are ONLY
sufficient resources to address the ones that are MOST IMPORTANT to our
customers so take the extra time to state your case as CLEARLY and
COMPLETELY as possible so that we can FEEL YOUR PAIN.

IMPORTANT: Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of
suggestions).
