Can't Animate Presentation

[Guest]

I'm unable to animate a presentation, animation schemes are grayed out, so
that I can not select them.

We seem to be seeing this one a lot lately. The fix that has worked most
frequently is to go to Tools--> Options, Edit tab and see if the bottom
three boxes are checked. If they are, uncheck them. You may need to re-start
PPT for the change to take effect.

Steve: Is it time to add this to the FAQ?

if we live without making a difference, it makes no difference that we lived
