I am using PPT2007 to create a slide in which I have two simple text
boxes, one with the title of the presentation and the second with a
colored background and rotated slightly counter-clockwise which I am
using the "swish" animation to have enter and overlay a part of the
first text box.
The idea is the title would say "All Sales Are Final" and then the
second box with a red background saying "BLESSINGS" would swish in and
overlay at an angle the word "Sales" in the first box.
The person who is running this presentation is a true beginner, and so
rather than have the chance they won't click for the animation at the
proper time (or do something that will skip the slide entirely - it
happens, believe me) I am trying to have the second text box enter
after 6 seconds.
Here's my problem: when playing the slide, after the six seconds the
text box swishes into view and positions, then there's a pause of
another six seconds before the text itself drops down letter-by-letter
into the text box.
When using the "Custom Animations" sidebar with the advanced timeline
displayed, when I click "Play" I see the swish animation as two
separate elements - the text box itself and then the text, and a gap
of six seconds between the two. At all other times it appears as one
element. I have tried dragging-and-dropping and right-clicking and
everything I can think of to get the text animation to butt directly
up against the text box, but have not succeeded. Any time I try to
click or right-click on the second animation element while playing, it
stops playing and the second element disappears.
How do I change the animation so the swish animation all happens
sequentially with the only delay being between the appearance of the
slide and the beginning of the animation?
