What is an Animation in PowerPoint?
The term animation is used in PowerPoint to describe the motions that are applied to the objects on the slides, and not the slides themselves. One object or several objects on a slide can be animated.
Why Use PowerPoint Animations in My Presentations?
Animations are used to capture the audience's attention. It's that simple. An effective presenter who uses PowerPoint will also be aware of that old adage -- Less is more. Using animations carefully and only for effect will get you on track to being a successful presenter.
