Triggers and Animation Actions: Twin Trigger Animations in PowerPoint

The other day a friend asked me how she could add a trigger animation to a slide object, but with a difference! She inserted a picture on a slide (let’s call this Picture 1) and then placed another picture of the exact same size over the first one (let’s call this Picture 2). She then wanted to click Picture 2 to cause a trigger animation on Picture 1. This caused Picture 1 to be revealed, almost like the example explained in our Trigger Animations in PowerPoint. However, what she wanted next was to click on Picture 1 to reveal Picture 2.

Triggers and Animation Actions: Add Trigger Animations for Media Actions in PowerPoint

An interactive PowerPoint presentation always interests audiences since it gets them involved actively navigating the slides. However, audiences for whom these interactive slides are intended must be aware that some interactivity has been included so that they can click a slide object to cause an action to happen. With trigger animations, you click on a PowerPoint shape (or even an Action Button or any other slide object) to cause an audio or video clip on the same slide to play, pause, resume, or even stop.

Spelling, AutoCorrect, and Reference Tools: Creating Formatted AutoCorrect Entries in PowerPoint

We explored differences between formatted and unformatted AutoCorrect entries in our Saving and Sharing AutoCorrect Entries tutorial. In simple terms, formatted AutoCorrect entries include formatted attributes such as font choices, bold, italics, etc., but can also include images, tables, and other content types. On the other hand, unformatted AutoCorrect entries comprise plain text.

Triggers and Animation Actions: Media Actions for Video in PowerPoint

A Video Action in PowerPoint is something that causes an event for any inserted movie/video clip. These are simple events such as Play, Pause, Resume, and Stop. Although PowerPoint classifies Movie Actions as an animation type, these are not strictly animations. However, since Movie Actions can be accessed through the Add Animation gallery, we have included this tutorial in our Animations section.
