The Notes pane is the area that you can see right below the actual slide. This area provides space to add speaker’s notes that can be so helpful to the presenter while presenting. The Notes pane can also be used to write any sort of information about the presentation or individual slides.

After you add animation to a selected slide object, you typically set an animation event. Another animation property you can set thereafter is the speed of the animation. Every animation you add within PowerPoint has a fixed, default speed. This speed essentially is a duration shown in seconds or part thereof and differs from animation to animation.

Adding animation to your slide objects is easy, but needs prior thought. It’s best to first decide what type of animation works best for a particular slide object. The type of animation used for any object is paramount because it can make the animated end-results viable, or relegate it to a distraction.

Once you add animation to any slide object, you can play the animation in Slide Show view by clicking your mouse cursor or pressing the spacebar on your keyboard. Another option is to use a button on a presentation remote. Each of these options advances one animation at a time, or may even take you to the subsequent slide. However, if you add that many animations to any slide, you probably want your animations to be automatically sequenced and play one after the other without a click, and that’s exactly where PowerPoint’s animation events can help.
