Motion Path animations in PowerPoint enable you to make any slide object move within or outside the slide, and also make it move anywhere within the slide in a particular path! PowerPoint provides dozens of Motion Path presets, in every shape that you can imagine.

In PowerPoint, and in other Office programs you typically need to sign in to a Microsoft Account so that you can access saved settings, customizations, and even some files off the cloud. You typically do this by managing your Account, right inside PowerPoint or another Office program such as Word and Excel. The Account tab in Backstage view allows you to sign in to your Microsoft Account, and automatically connect to your OneDrive account.

PowerPoint’s export options come into play after you have created your slide decks, and are looking for ways to share your slides with others in the most effective way possible. PowerPoint allows you to save your presentation in different forms, that allows you to view and share your slides on almost any device. Did you know you can create a PDF from your presentation, or export all slides to a video? If you need an old-fashioned way to share, you can burn your slides to a CD. You can also create Word document handouts. Finally, PowerPoint lets you save in so many other file formats.

The three basic animation types in PowerPoint: entrance, emphasis, and exit animations are something we have already explored. The fourth animation type is called Motion Path animations, and this is something more advanced in nature than the basic animation types explored so far. Motion Path animations determine the route (path) and the direction in which the animated slide object moves across or around on the slide. For example, you can move a slide object up, down, right, or left, on a preset or created motion path, or possibly anywhere you want.
