PowerPoint Help asap

[*Pleasant Tomorrow*]

Sooo, I have a speech to give Friday that I'm working on now, and I have to use powerpoint. Problem is, I havn't used it in about 2 years and I totally forgot what I'm doing. If anyone can helped that'd be extremely awesome.

For now I just have a question on transitioning within one single slide. Say I have three pictures I want on that slide, but I want them to show up individually, not all at once. How do I do that? Probably wicked obvious but I hate technology and I don't know what I'm doing.

I'm sure I'll have more questions as I go along.

Anyone? I'll mail you a cookie...

First off, which version of PowerPoint are you using?

In general, you can set animated effects to each picture and set the timing either by time or by mouse click.

Windows vista, which could be part of the reason I'm so confused...it's a bit different from the original.

I remember using animated effects, it's just I've forgotten everything and on top of that it's set up differently so I'm pretty lost lol

Oh, okay. Well, I am using a computer at work with Office Vista, so give me a few minutes to find out. I'll get back to you.

Here are the steps:

Select first pic > click on "Animations" tab > in the Animations group, select down-pointing arrow next to "no animation" > choose custom animation > under "custom animation" in task pane, select "add effects" button > apply desired effect > animated effect will appear in taskpane list > click on down-pointing arrow and select "timing" > play around with your desired settings and click "ok." Repeat the same steps with other pictures.

Ah, thank you so much I really appreciate it. I hate to bother you some more, but do I basically do the same thing if I want to do that with text? Thanks

Oh, it's no problem. I am used to it. I help students all the time. Yes, it works the same way with text.
