Thanks for your response Kathy. I do have it set up with two paths now and
it seems to be working OK.  Question though,  You say to set up the 'flip'
animation.  However, it's greyed out for me when I'm trying to add that
effect to clipart. It is available though if I add the 'flip' to a
placeholder with text in it. Just curious if you're able to add the flip
effect to clipart.  Thanks.

It could be done with one path, but I wouldn't do it that way. You would
need to set the flip animation to happen after a certain delay in the
animation timeline. Since exact timing isn't one of PPT's strong suits, you
would never be able to define exactly where the flip occurs. 

If, instead you use two paths, you can set the flip to happen before the
start of the second motion path (think backwards here - you are really going
to set the second motion path to start "after previous"). In this case, you
define exactly where on the screen the flip will occur.

I have a freeform motion path that a car is following over cities on a map.
Is it possible to use custom animation so that the car can flip horizontal
and continue on its journey.  Currently, I am using 2 separate animated
paths to do this and was curious if it could be done with 1 animation. Thank
you.
