Animation schemes are a quick way to get movement for our text elements, but they don't help with some of the cooler slide elements we've already created, such as text boxes, tables, pictures, graphs, and diagrams. To get full control over the appearance (and also the disappearance) of all the items in our slides, we need to access the Custom Animation task pane.
Select a slide to which you've already applied an animation scheme, switch to Normal view, and select Custom Animation from the task pane drop-down menu, as shown in Figure 13.3. If you've closed your task pane, just press Ctrl+F1.
In Normal view, you can immediately see that our animation schemes are reflected in the Custom Animation task pane in the order list. Their order is also noted numerically within the slide itself, with the title animation being shown as 0, and each sequential bullet also numbered (see Figure 13.4). Click on the bullet effect to select it in the order list.
You can see three parameters above the order list that are available for revision from a drop-down list:
z The bullets will appear on a mouse click.
z They will come in from the left.
z Their speed is set at very fast.
These parameters were set automatically by the animation scheme you selected, but now they can be changed. Click the drop-down arrow to see.
z The bullets can appear automatically—after a delay of __ seconds (determined by you).
z They will come in from any other direction you choose.
z Their speed can be set at four lower speeds.
To create a self-running presentation, all custom animation must be set to an automatic delay (not on mouse click) at a given interval after the
