To add animations to your PowerPoint presentation on a mobile device, you’ll need to follow a series of steps. However, it’s important to note that the level of functionality may vary depending on the device and the version of PowerPoint you’re using.
- Open PowerPoint: Start by launching PowerPoint on your mobile device. Then, open the specific presentation where you want to add animations.
- Select the object: Tap on the object you want to animate. This could be a text box, image, shape, or any other element on the slide.
- Access the animations menu: Tap on the ‘Animate’ option which can be found in the top menu. In some versions, you may need to tap on ‘Format’ first, and then select ‘Animations’.
- Choose an animation: From the ‘Animations’ menu, you can choose from various animation types such as Entrance, Emphasis, Exit, and Motion Paths. Tap on the one you want to use.
- Adjust settings: After selecting an animation, you can adjust its settings. Here, you can set the duration of the animation, the delay before it starts, and whether it starts on click, with previous, or after previous. You can also choose to repeat the animation if you wish.
- Preview the animation: Once you’ve set up the animation to your liking, you can preview it by tapping the ‘Preview’ button in the ‘Animations’ menu.
- Save your work: Don’t forget to save your work to ensure your animation settings are kept.
Adding animations can make your slides more engaging and interactive. However, it’s essential to use them sparingly and appropriately to avoid distracting your audience. Remember, the key is to enhance your message, not overshadow it.
