33. Copy effects from master to slide By contrast, if you apply a scheme to selected slides, the scheme effects apply only to the slides themselves and aren't put on the master. They can be modified directly when you open the Custom Animation task pane. Effects applied to the master, not the slide

Editor's Notes
[ Notes to trainer: For detailed help in customizing this template, see the very last slide. Also, look for additional lesson text in the notes pane of some slides. Because this presentation contains a Macromedia Flash ® animation, saving the template may cause a warning message to appear regarding personal information. Unless you add information to the properties of the Flash file itself, this warning does not apply to this presentation. Click OK on the message.]
Animation effects give motion to text, pictures, and other content on your slides. Besides adding action, they help you steer audience focus, emphasize important points, transition between slides, and maximize slide space by moving things on and off. Used well, animation effects bring flair, spice, and surprise to your presentations.
A scheme also gives you consistency because the same effects are used on every slide. And a scheme isn't set in stone; it's easy to remove, replace, or customize. Applying an animation scheme involves little more than choosing a menu command and selecting a scheme from a list. It's a big time-saver and makes for quick results.
More about animation schemes: The general types of effects used, in different variations, are as follows: Transition , in which the slide is revealed using an effect like a wipe or a checkerboard pattern; Entrance , such as text fading in or flying in; Emphasis or dimming : Emphasis calls attention to a bullet point by making the text stand out; dimming de-emphasizes a bullet point once you've moved on. Exit refers to a fly out, fade out, bounce out, and the like. Motion path traces a pattern for an object to follow. Ellipse and Neutron are two schemes that use motion paths. A typical scheme for a bulleted list will have the text enter line by line and dim each line when a new line enters (this is illustrated in the picture on the slide). Two such schemes in PowerPoint ® are called Fade in and dim and Appear and dim . [ Note to trainer: To play the animation when viewing the slide show, right-click the animation, and then click Play . After playing the file once, you may have to click Rewind (after right-clicking) and then click Play . If you have problems viewing the animation, see the notes for the last slide in this presentation about playing a Macromedia Flash animation. If you still have problems viewing the animation, the slide that follows this one is a duplicate slide with static art. Delete either the current slide or the next slide before using this presentation.]

[ Note to trainer: Steps—presented in either numbered or bulleted lists—are always shown in yellow text.]
This applies the scheme to all slides by placing it on the slide master, and will apply the scheme to new slides as you add them too. Note: If you have more than one type of slide master in your slide show, an additional button, Apply to Master , is available. If you click that, the scheme appears on all the slides that use the master of the selected slides.
Note: Again, if you have more than one master, you'll also see an Apply to Master button, which removes the scheme from the slides that use the master of the selected slides.
[ Note to trainer: With PowerPoint 2003 installed on your computer, you can click the link in the slide to go to an online practice. In the practice, you can work through each of these tasks in PowerPoint, with instructions to guide you. Important: If you don’t have PowerPoint 2003, you won’t be able to access the practice instructions.]
For instance, you want to change just the title effect on one slide; you want to animate a piece of art; and you'd like some effects to play automatically. The animation scheme applied in the picture appears as itemized effects (shown in the red outline) that you can customize.
(Goes with first callout) Here, two effects show: one for the title and one for the subtitle. (Goes with second callout) The items on the slide will show these numbers, too.
Other options: Above the list of effects in the task pane are a range of options, including the Change button and various ways to modify an effect.
Tip: Another way to select the effect in the effects list is to click the corresponding order number for that effect on the slide. To add an effect, click the item on the slide that you want to animate. The Change button turns into the Add Effect button, and you can choose an effect from its menu. Note: If effects have been added to the slide master, which is what happens when you apply a scheme to all slides, the effects must be copied to the slide before you can make changes to them on the slide. There's more on this later in the lesson.
"On click" means "when you click the mouse." The other two bear a little more explanation.
Since the title effect is the first effect on this slide, With Previous will just make it play automatically when the slide displays. An effect with these conditions is given 0 as the order number.
The image on the slide shows that the "See Canyon Country" subtitle effect (selected at the bottom of the figure) is currently set to play On Click —that is, by click of the mouse (see the Start box).
To access effects that have been placed on the master, click the Copy Effects to Slide command within the task pane. Note: It's possible, and advisable sometimes, to go directly to the master to modify or remove effects.

This lesson further explores custom animation, showing you how to animate text by word or by letter, hide text after its effect plays, dim text with another color, and use a sound enhancement. Finally, see how to use entrance and exit effects with pictures in a bulleted list. [ Note to trainer: To play the animation when viewing the slide show, right-click the animation, and then click Play .

The result is that the entire list gets the effect, and the bulleted items animate one by one (technically, paragraph by paragraph, since each bulleted item is a new paragraph).
To select a bulleted item, select any letter or word in that paragraph. When you apply the effect, it will apply to the whole paragraph. Do this for every bulleted item. The items animate in sequence. Note: The behavior described applies to lists within default placeholders (the hatchmarked boxes for text that appear in the slide layout). But if you create a list in a shape you've applied, such as a text box, the results vary. For instance, if you just click the list in a text box and apply an effect, the whole list animates at once instead of line by line. To get items to animate in sequence, you have to select each one and apply an effect.
Note the Effect Options command on the menu. Effect options let you fine-tune and embellish effects. Note also that all the Start commands ( On Click , and so on) appear again here for easy access.
An example: Your whole bulleted list is already shown, but you want each item to stand out when you come to that point. You apply an emphasis effect that turns the text another color (on mouse click) when you're ready to discuss that point.
A typical scenario is to follow one bullet point of text with a supporting picture, which exits with the next bullet point's entrance, which in turn is followed by its own picture.
So, what’s generally occurring is that the first bullet enters the slide, and its picture enters under it. The second bullet enters while the first picture exits, and then the second picture enters. Finally, the third bullet enters while the second picture exits, and then the third picture enters.
For the effects that are set to play simultaneously (With Previous), you can alter their speeds to make them more sequential.
