How do I get the different 'slices' of my pie chart to transition.

[thirsch]

I am trying to take an existing pie chart and have each 'slice' of the pie
come in using custom animation separately. I know how to separate each
slice, but not how to make them separate objects on the page.

Select the chart and apply a "start on click" animation to it -- use
something simple like a fade or wipe.

Double-click the animation in the animation pane and choose Chart Animation.
There you can select the "grouping".

How do you seperate the slices? I cannot get them to ungroup within
Powerpoint.

Double-click the animation in the animation pane and choose Chart

Animation.
There you can select the "grouping".

You don't ungroup the chart. You apply an animation to the chart, then you
set the animation to "by series" or "by element in series" or, in the case
of a pie chart, "by category."

To ungroup a chart you must copy it, paste special as emf, then ungroup the
EMF twice. But honestly, you don't have to ungroup the pie chart in order to
animate it. Try it, you'll see.
