How do I use animations in .................
 
 Adding our animations to PowerPoint presentations is very popular. Our animations can be used in PowerPoint 2000 or newer versions. The animations will not move when you are creating the presentation. In order to see the animations move, please play the presentation.
Animations will not play in PowerPoint 97 or older versions.

Here are instructions on adding animations to PowerPoint presentations:

STEP 1:
 Assemble the graphics you want to use.

 For expediency, save all the graphics you intend to use in the presentation in one folder, including slide backgrounds, animations and PhotoClips.

STEP 2:
Set up your slides.

 The key to making a PowerPoint presentation fast is to set up your slide master. Click view - master - slide master. This how you set up the general appearance of ALL your slides. From the slide master, you can determine the common background, fonts and where the type appears on the slides.

Backgrounds:

From the pull down menu, click format - background. A dialog box will pop up. Click fill effects - picture. Find the folder and select your background.

Clipart and Animations:

 From the pull down menu, click insert - picture - from file. A dialog box will then pop up. Find the folder and select the appropriate graphics. Add all animations, photographs and clipart this way.

NOTE:
Do not add animated GIFs through movies and sounds. Animated GIFs should always be added as a picture. Adding them as a movie will disable some of their features in some versions of PowerPoint.

If you're having problems with your graphics being on top of your text and/or other graphics, there is a simple fix. At the bottom of your screen, click draw - order and find the appropriate icon needed to put your graphics in the correct layer order.

STEP 3:
Transitions.

We found that adding some transitions really gave the presentation that finished look. Click slide show – slide transition to bring up the slide show transitions library.

Have Fun!
 FYI- Animation Factory is featuring 4 free animated and non animated Powerpoint templates made by our creative staff for you to download.

 Add an animation to a web page the same way you would add any picture or photograph. There is no special code necessary to make an animation play. In some software, you may need to preview the final page to see the animation move. It is common for the animation to not move when the page is being edited or created.

We recommend using a good quality web page builder program, such as MS FrontPage to build your web pages. If you are using an online web building program, please consult the help documentation to see how to add pictures to your web page.
