PP 2010 - Animation Direction default
Jul 01, 2012
By
Sarah Tinson
Hi all,
Does anyone know if it's possible to change the default direction on a PP animation?
Reason: I use a wipe animation on a handwriten font quite a bit - to look like the text is being written on screen.
When I animate it, I need to click on Effect Options, then Direction - the default is 'From Bottom', but I always change it to 'From Left'.
I've looked on Microsoft Help, but can't find anything about this, so suspect not, but thought I'd ask just in case.
cheers,
Sarah.

Hi Sarah
I've looked for this as well and haven't been able to find anything. If you are using PPT 2010 though there is the new Animation Painter, so all you'd need to do is set up the animation once and then use that to "copy" to any other place throughout the presentation (similar to format painter)
Cheers

Thanks Blair - good call - I do use that from time to time but haven't got into the habit yet of using it all the time. I'll have to try to do all the animations at once, then that will work (I usually do it as I complete a slide - I like seeing how slides will look immediately - I will try to exercise patience!)
thanks again
Cheers,
Sarah.
