10. Pivot point is in the center of the object ( the leg)
During the last class you should have had some time to explore and experiment with the animation effects. You probably discovered that using spin would not produce the desired effect to have the leg kick the ball. You probably discovered the pivot point was in the middle of the leg rather than at the top. You need to keep that idea in mind for the next lesson.

11. Add a new slide to use as a scratch slide
Add a new slide to use as a scratch slide. Paste a copy of the leg and adjust it so it is level. Now draw a rectangular shape about the same size as the leg. Go to Insert > shapes and choose the rectangle.

1 object
You will now combine the two selected objects into one object. To do this make sure both objects are selected. Click on Picture Tools and find Group (look off to the right) click on the down arrow and click on group. Notice the two boxes will be replaced with one box. This means the two objects are now a single object.

14. Now is the time to think about the center of the object as the pivot point. Where is the center of the new object?
Exactly! Just where we want the object to pivot around. The only thing we need to do is make the extension to the leg invisible.. To do that : Click on the object then click on the blue rectangle. Right click on the blue rectangle and select Format shape.
