Read the first 7 Animation Effects flashcards as text
Which Entrance animation effect causes an object to appear letter-by-letter or word-by-word?
Answer: Typewriter (via text animation settings)
Selecting 'By Letter' under text animation options in Effect Options creates a typewriter-style entrance for text objects.
What is the maximum number of animation effects that can be applied to a single object in PowerPoint?
Answer: No practical limit — multiple effects are supported
PowerPoint allows you to stack multiple animation effects (entrance, emphasis, exit, motion path) on a single object using 'Add Animation'.
What does using 'Shrink & Turn' as an Exit animation accomplish?
Answer: The object rotates and reduces in size as it disappears
Shrink & Turn is an Exit effect that simultaneously rotates and shrinks the object until it vanishes from the slide.
How do you access advanced timing settings such as Repeat and Rewind for an animation?
Answer: Double-click the animation in the Animation Pane to open its Effect Options dialog
Double-clicking an animation entry in the Animation Pane opens its full Effect Options dialog, which includes Timing settings like Repeat and Rewind.
What does 'Rewind when done playing' do to a motion path animation?
Answer: Returns the object to its original starting position after the animation completes
Rewind when done playing snaps the object back to its pre-animation position once the effect finishes, without visibly reversing.
Which keyboard shortcut previews all animations on the current slide from within Normal view?
Answer: Click 'Preview' in the Animations tab (no global shortcut by default)
The Preview button in the Animations tab plays all animations on the current slide; there is no default keyboard shortcut for this specific action.
What does the 'With Previous' trigger setting mean for an animation?
Answer: The animation starts at the same time as the preceding animation
With Previous causes the animation to begin simultaneously with the animation immediately above it in the Animation Pane sequence.
