Reveal all animation at once

[Brandon Billings]

In the presentation I'm working on, all of the slides have reveal animations
for the information on them. Would it be possible to program a button (in
PP, or using VB of some sort) that when clicked, would cause all the reveals
on the page to show up instantly. Some people using it, will want to go
through each reveal animation one at a time, while others would like to just
reveal everything on the slide at once.

One thought I had was that if a script/button could somehow change the
animation Timing from mouse click to 0 seconds, all the animations would run
instantly, but of course, I have no idea how to do anything like this.

If anyone has any ideas, or questions, let me know.

Thanks!

I think you want something like this

Sub AutoAnimate(
ActivePresentation.Slides(2).Shapes(3).AnimationSettings.AdvanceMode = ppAdvanceOnTim
ActivePresentation.Slides(2).Shapes(3).AnimationSettings.AdvanceTime =
End Su
Sub ClickAnimate(
ActivePresentation.Slides(2).Shapes(3).AnimationSettings.AdvanceMode = ppAdvanceOnClic
End Su

AutoAnimate sets the 3rd shape on the 2nd slide to automatically come up when you go to the slide. ClickAnimate sets that shape to only come up when you click. Is this what you are talking about

Hello,

PowerPoint doesn't provide the functionality that you are looking for
without resorting to VBA or add-ins. However, if the presenter knows, ahead
of time, that they don't want to use the animations in a presentation they
can turn them off before starting slide show:

1) Slide Show -> Set up show
2) Check the "Show without animation" setting from the "Show options"
3) Click "OK"

If you (or anyone else reading this message) think that it's important that
PowerPoint provide this kind of functionality (without having to resort to
VBA or add-ins), don't forget to send your feedback (in YOUR OWN WORDS,
please) to Microsoft at:

http://register.microsoft.com/mswish/suggestion.asp

It's VERY important that, for EACH wish, you describe in detail, WHY it is
important TO YOU that your product suggestion be implemented. A good wish
submssion includes WHAT scenario, work-flow, or end-result is blocked by
not having a specific feature, HOW MUCH time and effort ($$$) is spent
working around a specific limitation of the current product, etc. Remember
that Microsoft receives THOUSANDS of product suggestions every day and we
read each one but, in any given product development cycle, there are ONLY
sufficient resources to address the ones that are MOST IMPORTANT to our
customers so take the extra time to state your case as CLEARLY and
COMPLETELY as possible so that we can FEEL YOUR PAIN.

IMPORTANT: Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of
suggestions).
