Hi Laura,

It looks like Vira took your case and replied on 7/12 with the following. You may want to check your spam or junk folder for the email in case it ended up there:

I understand one of the animated callouts on Slide 2 is not working as expected. 

Since other callouts you animated are working properly, try to *rebuild* the callout for the white man, then re-apply the animation. Save the preview to test.

If issue persists despite rebuilding this callout, please do the following workaround to see if it helps: 

1. Right-click the Cloud Callout shape, and select Save as Picture from the shortcut (context) menu that appears. 
2. Save the shape as a PNG or EMF image. 
3. Delete the Cloud Callout shape from your PowerPoint slide. 
4. Insert the image file in its place. 
5. Apply the animation. 
6. Save the presentation then Preview or Publish to test.
