custom animating a column chart

[Guest]

Hi all

My colleague and I both have Office XP and have created the same chart in
PowerPoint - 3D column chart.

We have both added animation to the whole chart adn then went into Effect
Options, to use the Chart Animation and ask for each series individually. On
my PC, this works fine, however, on my colleague's, they don't have the
option - it still says 'one object only'.

I understand this can deend on what kind of chart you have created, however,
we both have the same one.

Can anyone explain this and how we can animate both charts the same?

Thank you.

Louise,
Just asking, but are you sure you applied the same entrance effect on the
graph? Animation possibilities vary with the entrance effect applied.

Hi Luc

Oooohhhh, so the 'effect options' depending on what animation we applied in
the first place to the whole chart??

You're a Star!!! I've just checked the animation and they were different -
'fly in' is the one we can't custom animate so we've changed it!!

Thank you very much.
