Increment and pause

[Guest]

Hi all can some one please tell me if there is a way to say,
activepresentation.slides(1).shapes(1).incrementleft(25) for example
but do it in increments of say 5 and pause shortly betwen each one.
I have seen it in some languages as sleep however do not know how to do it
in vba.
Thank you

Bingo, got it in one. Here's how to use Sleep:

You'll probably also want to do a GoToSlide and go to the same slide as you're
already on after each change (in order to force the view to refresh itself).
