Adding animations to your presentations in Open Office can help make your content more dynamic and engaging. Here are step-by-step instructions on how to do this:
Step 1: Select the Object
Open your presentation and click on the object you want to animate. This could be a text box, shape, image, or chart.
Step 2: Add Animation
Go to the ‘Slide Show’ menu at the top, then select ‘Custom Animation’. A task pane will open on the right side of the screen. Click on ‘Add’ to open a list of animation effects.
Step 3: Choose the Animation
Choose the animation effect you want to apply. You can choose from four types: Entrance, Emphasis, Exit, and Motion paths. Each type has a variety of effects you can choose from.
Step 4: Customize the Animation
After selecting the animation, you can customize it further by choosing its speed, start, and direction. You can also set the animation to occur ‘On click’, ‘With previous’, or ‘After previous’.
Step 5: Apply to Other Objects
If you want to apply the same animation to other objects, just select the object and click on ‘Add’. The previously selected animation and settings will be applied.
Step 6: Preview the Animation
Click on ‘Play’ to preview the animation. If you’re satisfied with the result, just close the task pane.
Remember, while animations can make a presentation more engaging, it’s important not to overdo them, as too many animations can distract from your message.
