I have an isosceles triangle that I want to travel a Motion Path in PP 2002
(new animation option in 2002 and 2003). I want the apex of the two equal
sides to always point in the direction of the movement. How do I do this?
I am using Windows 2000 as my OS.

To achieve you need to combine two animations; MOTION PATH and ROTATE. I
would first create the motion path. Then add a rotate emphasis. Adjust the
rotate emphasis to be clockwise only or counter clockwise only (whichever is
appropriate to your animation). Then manually set the amount of rotation
(ie. 20 percent) and set the time duration to match your motion path. Run
the animation and adjust the amount of rotation, start time of rotation and
amount of rotation until desired effect is achieved.

This can be a tedious process, but with some effort you should be able to
achieve the result you describe.

Troy,

Thanks very much. This should do the trick. I love doing this sort of
thing. It keeps me off the streets at night.

Final note (which you most likely figured out), the ROTATE emphasis needs to
be set to WITH PREVIOUS, so the object moves and rotates simulatneously!
