Set default animation speed in PowerPoint

[jconta]

I am running PowerPoint 2003 and would like to know if it is possible
to change the default setting for speed on an animation.
I use the "fade" animation very often, but find that the default
setting of medium is too slow.
Is there any way to change the default speed from medium to very fast,
so that every time
I choose 'fade' I get a very fast fade instead of a medium fade?
A search of the archives yielded no answer.

Thank you,

JC

Hi JC

AFAIK that isn't possible unfortunately. However you can buy an add-in
called animation carbon that allows you to create a library of your favourite
animations (even combinations of animations) that you can then apply. For
more details & a free trial see here: http://skp.mvps.org/ac/index.html

I don't think you can but you could use vba to zip through a presentation and
change all the fades to very fast would that help

'Code
Sub changefader()
Dim osld As Slide
Dim oeff As Effect
Dim i As Integer
For Each osld In ActivePresentation.Slides
For i = 1 To osld.TimeLine.MainSequence.Count
Set oeff = osld.TimeLine.MainSequence(i)
If oeff.EffectType = msoAnimEffectFade Then oeff.Timing.Duration = 0.5
Next i
Next osld
End Sub
'End
