I don't think there's a way to do this, but I thought I'd check if you knew of a way. If I draw a line using a line tool and make it curvy, wiggly, all around the slide.... is there a way to animate it appearing following the line?
I could imagine trying to piece it together in segments and doing each little segment as a wipe, but I'd love to see a "follow the line" animation. Just hoping upon hope it's possible. I'm using PowerPoint 2013. Thanks!
Thanks... I didn't describe it well. I'm not looking for a motion path to follow a line. I'm looking to make a squiggly line animate onto the screen following the line. So, wipe works on a straight line because you can just make it wipe on in the direction of the line... but if it's a squiggly line, can you animate it onto the screen following the shape of the line?
Sorry Heather, I misunderstood your question! Unfortunately, I'm not aware of a way to achieve what you're looking to do. Hopefully someone in the community will be able to help!

Hi Heather,
I would recommend having a look at this link to find out how to create custom motion paths in PowerPoint. Hope that helps! :)

What you are asking for can be created in Flash Pro. Then import the product as an SWF into the storyline project.
