Go to the Slide Show menu and click on Custom Animation...the Add Effect option is in the Custom Animation task pane....animation is very different in PowerPoint 2002...that's why I wrote a whole new ebook on this version...cuz the old one made no sense to 02 users Once you get the hang of animation in 02, you will see it is WAY better than the earlier versions...lots more options..and you can add multiple animations to objects.

Diasparra Sent: Sunday, December 21, 2003 9:18 PM To: mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [mso] Powerpoint In an older version of PowerPoint, I was able to have an image animated (like drop in randomly). How can I do this with MS PowerPoint 02? When I click help, it says to "Select an element of the slide then click :Add Effect" to add animation" But I can't figure out where to do this? Any helpers out there? Victor A.
