Types of Animation Effects 

1. Entrance effects - Control how you want your object to enter the slide. 
   
   There are three sub types of entrance effects:
   Breeze effects are simple, gentle, and everyday effects like Appear, Wheel In, and Wipe. Glide effects move easily and gradually, making gliding movements on the slide, like Bounce, Fly In, and Float In. Witty effects make quick and amusing movements on the slide, like Flip In, Swivel, and Spinner.
   
   
   
   
2. Emphasis effects -  Draw special attention to your objects by animating them within the slide.
   
   There are three types of emphasis effects:
   Stress effects give the object a showy appearance to emphasize its importance, like Shake, Wave, or Spin.
   Glitz effects give the object a flashy  appearance by adding color to your shape, text, or picture, like Fill Color, Contrast Color, or Darken.
   Switch effects highlight your points by changing the font's typeface, like Bold or Underline.
   
   
   
   
3. Exit effects  - Control how the object exits or leaves the slide.
   
   There are three types of exit effects:
   Breeze effects are simple and smooth effects which make the object wipe out of the slide area, like Disappear or Fade. Glide effects gather extra attention by moving out of the slide with gliding movements, like Float Out or Fly Out. Witty effects vanish from the slide with swift and funny movements like Spin and Swivel.
   
   
   
   
4. Path effects  - Draw your own custom animation paths and choose from predefined motion paths.
   
   There are three types of predefined motion path effects:
   Line effects make the slide objects to take linear motion paths (such as a straight line).
   Curve effects add a curvy motion path to objects.
   Squiggles effect creates a wavy motion path to objects.
   Create your own path lets you draw your own animation path to make slide objects follow the desired direction. 
   
   
   

Apply Animation Effects 

1. Select the image, shape, or object to animate and click the ANIMATE mode on the right pane.  
   
   
2. Select the type of animation effect you want to apply (Entrance, Emphasis, Exit or Path) and click Add Animations.
   
   For example, if you want your object to make an amazing entry, select Entrance, click Add Animations, and choose the desired effect from the sub-categories (Breeze, Glide, or Witty).
   Similarly, you can apply Emphasis and Exit effects to any object by choosing the desired effect from the drop-down list. 
   
   
   
    If you think a single effect is not enough, you can apply multiple animations in the same way.  Adding multiple effects to the same object makes your presentation look more interesting.
   
   
3. If the object has more than one effect,  each effect will be indicated with a different Animation Number (for example, number 2 for the second effect, 3 for third effect, and so on) and they will play in the same sequence as you added them. The animation will apply to the object and will be indicated by an Animation Number (Number Label). The first animation you apply will always be indicated with a number "1", the second effect with number "2", and so on.
   
   
4. An Animation Number will appear next to every animated object on the slide, and a matching label also appears next to the effect inside the Animation Order pane.
   
   
   
   After you add the animation, you can perform certain functions for each animation effect added into the slide under the Animate pane. 
   
   
   
   
1. Play the animation - Click the Play button  on the effect to see what it does and how the animation appears during the slide show. 
   
   
2. Preview the animation - Click Preview   button at the top right to have a live preview of the animations while you add or change them on the slide. You can preview all the effects on a particular slide at once using the Preview button  within Animation Order window. 
   
   
3. Change to a different animation - Select the Animation effect and click Change Animation to choose the new effect you want to apply from a variety of effects in the drop-down list.
   
   
   

Change the effect's direction

1. Use the Duration Slider or Up and Down arrows to increase or decrease the duration (number of seconds) you want to set. You can also manually enter the duration (in seconds) within the Duration text box.
