How do you apply an animation effect to the way a picture exits a slide? I know that you can choose Hide Animation, Don't Dim and so forth from the Custom Animation dialog box, but I want the picture to slide out of view slowly as the next animation effect takes place. I thought of using VBA to create a routine that would alter the picture's screen coordinates until it disappeared from view, but that seems a bit excessive. Feel free to share the code if you've done that before.

No need to use VBA. On the menu bar, click on "View", and then select "Slide Sorter". This will display thumbnails of the slides in the sequence of presentation. Click a slide to select it (you may select additional slides by holding down the Ctrl key and clicking on the slides). Right-click on the selected slide(s); a popup menu will appear. Click on "Slide Transition" to open a dialog box that will let you select the transition effect, speed, timing and sound effects for the selected slides, or all slides.

Hope this helps...

Oops...you said picture, didn't you? I guess you *would* need some VBA code. Don't reject my answer yet, and I'll work something up.
