After you set up object builds on a slide, you can set up criteria for when Build In and Build Out effects are initiated.
For example, you can set up a build that brings the first text bullet onto the slide, then the first wedge of a pie chart, and then the second bullet. You can do the same to move objects off the slide. You can also specify a range of elements to be used in a build, such as only the second and third text bullets in a text build.
-
Select a text box, table, or chart on the slide canvas.
-
Click Inspector in the toolbar, and then click the Build button.
-
Set up an object build by choosing an option other than “All at once” from the Delivery pop-up menu under Build In (to make chart elements appear) or Build Out (to make chart elements disappear) in the Build inspector. (For detailed information about creating a text, table, or chart build, click a Related Topic below.)
-
To specify a range of elements to build, use the “Build from” and “Build to” pop-up menus.
-
Select “Set timing and order for each build.”
-
Select another text box, table, or chart on the slide canvas, and set up its build as described in steps 3 through 5.
-
In the Build Order drawer, drag the builds to the desired order.
If the Build Drawer isn’t open, click More Options. You may have to deselect all the builds in the Build Order drawer before selecting one to drag.
