Play a narration during multiple animations

[Guest]

Greetings all. I'd like to play a narration while several (7) pictures appear
using the Expand custom animation effect. I've set all the pictures to enter
After Previous and that part works fine. Problem is, no matter where I put
the narration, it plays completely before the next pictures appear. I want to
begin playing the narration at the start of the slide and have the pictures
appear in order while the narration plays. Is there a way to do this in PPT
2003? Thanks,

Pat

Change your view of the animation task pane so that you are looking at the
advanced timeline. Drag the animations after the narration so that they
start where you want them to. Post back if you need more details or more
help.

Kathy, thanks for your reply. I've done as you instructed and my advanced
timeline looks like this:
0 (L) > Media 8 >
(L) stars OSH Orie... [gray]
(L) stars OSH Orie... [gray]
....and so on with a total of 7 photos. The (L) is a clock, I think, and the
'stars' are a symbol for some kind of media, I think. I hope this is
understandable.

I can't tell for sure, but it looks like the animations are already after
the audio narration. What am I missing? Thanks,

Pat

Kathy, I think I found the answer: you set all events to begin at the same
time and then set delays to time the aminations to go with the narration - at
least that's what worked for me. I think that's got it. If you know a better
way, please let me know. Thanks again,

Pat

Yup - that works. That does the dame thing as grabbing the animations on the
animation timeline and moving them forward and back. What you were seeing in
the advanced timeline before was an indication that the animation was
waiting until the narration was totally done before it started. By dragging
it to an earlier start point in the timeline, you would have accomplished
the same thing as you did by using start with previous and giving it a
delay.
