Example This Tutorial takes 1 image and animates its entrance in 4 dynamic ways. S ometimes all it takes is a little “thinking outside the box” to really get the creative ideas happening. The animations used in these four examples are great - but more importantly, you can use the ideas and concepts in your presentations to produce even greater animations! All animations are optimized to use the WITH PREVIOUS option available in PPT , but will animate nicely in PPT (which defaults to AFTER PREVIOUS).
