"Animated items" counter

[Juha]

Hi

Is there any way to add for example to slide master some indicator (e.g.
counter), which could indicate how many "custom animations" are still in
specific slide when you are in "Slide Show" view?

So for example in footer of slide would have "0/3" indicator when you enter
the slide. When you click the mouse and at the same time reveal the custom
animations the counter would increase (1/3 > 2/3 > 3/3). When you have this
"3/3" you would know that all the animations/items are revealed.

A counter (with numbers) would have to be built with VBA programming. But
you could insert a small dot or similar element on your slide and assign the
last animation (Start: with previous) to it. If you see this dot appear, you
know all your other animations are complete.

Or to build on that (no pun intended), you could (with probably more
trouble than it is worth) animate numbers with each animation so the "1"
appears with the first animation and the "2" with the second and so on.
But if you want this to be automatic, VBA is the way to go. However,
Ute's method is the best if you just want to know when all the
animations are complete. I also like to use buttons for navigation and
have the "next slide" button appear with the last animation (instead of
the dot suggested by Ute).
