Shrink down

[Chris Watts]

I wish to have a picture appear approx. fulll screen and the, after a mouse
click, shrink down to a much smaller size. This way I can get 9 pictures to
appear in turn full screen and shrink back onto a 3 x 3 grid. I suspect
that the version of Powerpoint that I am using (2000 and 97) but is there a
way of faking it?
I am happy to use multiple slides and lots of custom action if necessary.
Suggestions appreciated.
TIA
Chris

There is no shrink animation in PowerPoint 97 and 2000 - it was introduced
in 2002/XP. You can do the following:
- insert the large 1st picture on slide 1
- insert the small 1st picture on slide 2
- insert the large 2nd picture on slide 3
- insert the small 1st and 2nd picture on slide 4
- insert the large 3rd picture on slide 5
- insert the small pictures 1, 2 and 3 on slide 6
- and so on ...

Thus you will get 17 slides all in all. Apply no slide transition or
something subtle like "Dissolve" to the slide. This will not provide you
with a "shrink" movement, but is the closest you can get in the versions you
use.

Best regards,
Ute

Thanks Ute, I'll give that a try.
