view slide elements at end of animation sequence

[Guest]

I need to stop a slide at the end of a custom animation
in normal mode to get their final position info for the
next slide. Can't seem to find this information in the
help files. I'm using XP for this project.

Thanks!

When your in the edit mode, right click on your animated object, select format,
then select position. this will tell you where it is relative to the top left
corner of your slide. Hope this helps.

Thanks Michael, I appreciate the help. I failed to
mention that I am using custom paths and it's at the end
of the path I need the position information. Your
suggestion works well at the start of the path but I
can't seem to get it to work for the end of the path
position.

Try this, in the edit mode right click the object you want to find the endpoint,
select custom animation. you should now see the motion path for the object. zoom
in (I use 400%) to the end point. Draw a small square auto shape and align top
left with the endpoint, then check the positioning as mentioned in the first
post. this should give you the position for your object at the end of it's path.

You could position your object at the desired end point of your animation,
then draw the animation path to the desired starting point and finally
change the direction of the path. If the animation starts within the slide,
you may have to add an "Appear" animation before starting the animation
path.

Thus you can copy the slide and have the object in its end position on the
next slide.

Kind regards,
Ute

Good plan Ute, I'll give that a try. Thanks.

FWIW, I think someone's working on an addin for this very thing. You
might want to keep checking back periodically, as I'm sure it will be
announced when that addin's released.

Gayle,
The add-in Echo mentioned is ready. I just haven't had to time to upload it
and create the necessary page. If you are interested I can send it across.
It's designed to generate finished positions for motion paths.

 

[Echo S]

Ah. There's that someone.
Thanks, Shyam.

Excellent! Please put it up.

Hello,

PowerPoint doesn't provide the functionality that you are looking for
without resorting to VBA or add-ins.

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:

As with all product suggestions, it's important that you not just state
your wish but also WHY it is important to you that your product suggestion
be implemented by Microsoft. 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.

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