Choosing additional properties of an animation
effect
Many animations have a set of properties that you can set or change.
For example, if you choose the Change Font Color effect on the
Emphasis page, you can specify the font color. If you choose Fly In on
the Entrance page, you can specify the direction from which the object
flies in.
The label on the properties box changes depending on the choices
available for each effect. For example, a Fly In effect has a box labelled
Direction and a Change Font Color effect has a box labelled Font color.
Example: Using multiple animation effects
To illustrate how you can set up multiple effects, let’s look at a
common animation: list items fly in one at a time from the bottom of
the slide, and as each new item appears, the previous items change to
a different color. Here is how to create these effects:
Step 1. Apply the “fly in” effect to individual list items.
1) Display the Custom Animation page of the Task pane.
2) Create a slide with several items in a bullet list. Our example slide
(Figure 174) has four.

3) Select all four items. Click Add on the Custom Animation pane.
4) On the Entrance page of the Custom Animation dialog box (Figure
175), select Fly In, optionally change the Speed to Medium, and
click OK.
