COURSE TEXT

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.

This course covers both the simplest way to add animations and the more detailed, customized way. For more about the course, read the overview in the center of this page or the detailed table of contents in the left column.
