To move elements on or off a slide, begin with the completed slide (all elements visible), and then define a build for each element you want to appear or disappear.
-
On a slide, select the object you want to make move on or off the slide.
Shift-click to select multiple objects.
-
Click Inspector in the toolbar, and then click the Build button.
-
To make the object move onto the slide, click Build In. To make the object leave the slide, click Build Out.
-
Choose an option from the Effect pop-up menu.
If you are applying the effect using a Smart Build, you’ll see “Use Smart Build” in the Effect menu. For more information, see Building a Series of Images on a Single Slide (Smart Builds).
-
To change the direction in which the object enters or leaves the slide, choose an option from the Direction pop-up menu. (Not all effects provide this option.)
-
To change whether the object appears on the slide all at once or one part at a time, choose an option from the Delivery pop-up menu.
The options in the Delivery pop-up menu change depending on the selected object. For example, options for a table include building by row or by column; options for text include building by paragraph. For more information, see About Animating Bulleted Text, Tables, and Charts.
-
To set how long it takes for an object (or object element) to appear or disappear, type a value in the Duration field (or click the arrows).
To learn how to set separate timings, change the build order, or automate the builds for individual elements, select “Set timing and order for each build.” In the Build Order drawer, select each element, see the following topics:
-
To change the order in which builds occur, see Reordering Object Builds.
-
To specify whether to begin the build automatically (after a specified time) or on click, see Automating Object Builds.
-
To intersperse the builds of different object elements (for example, table rows and pie chart wedges), see Intermixing Builds of Text, Tables, and Charts.
-
To apply action builds to move or modify the object on the slide, see the topics under About Animating Objects on Slides (Action Builds).
-
-
To prevent some object elements from building, choose options other than First and Last from the “Build from” pop-up menu.
To view the build, click the image in the Build Inspector or click Play in the toolbar. You can also view a single element’s build by clicking it in the Build Order drawer.
If you group or ungroup objects that have a build defined, the build effect is removed.
You can create an object build on a master slide so that the build effects appear on every slide created using that master. See Defining Default Transitions for instructions.
