If you use Animation Schemes often in the earlier versions of PowerPoint, you will realize that PowerPoint 2007 has this feature removed. Now you might be thinking… “I have 100+ slides, do I have to add the same animations onto every slide manually?” The answer is no.
If you add your animations through the slide master, the animations will be applied onto every slide. In fact, this method works on earlier versions of PowerPoint such as PowerPoint 2000, 2002/XP, 2003.
Here’s the steps:
In PowerPoint 2007, click View > Slide Master.
On the Slide Master, select the content placeholder (the one that says “Click to edit Master text
styles”).
Now, select Animation > Custom Animation.
Click Add Effect > Entrance > Fade (or any effect of your choice)
Once you are done with it, click Slide Master > Close Master View.
Thanks for that – youve just sved me from getting a D in my IT GCSE!
Thanks a lot. Finally a clear solution for a problem that had already taken many hours searching and experimenting ….
Is there any way to have schemes on a slide by slide basis anymore?
Thanks so much!!
I cannot tell you how helpful this was after an hour of searching for an answer.
For some reason this did not work for me. Any common mistakes I may have made?
0h Yay! xD <3
