To modify the custom animation effect, select the drop-down arrow beside each of the three categories - Start, Direction and Speed.

1. Start
   • On click - start the animation on the mouse click
   • With previous - start the animation at the same time as the previous animation (could be another animation on this slide or the slide transition of this slide)
   • After previous - start the animation when the previous animation or transition has finished
2. Direction
   • This option will vary depending on which Effect you have chosen. Directions can be from top, from right side, from bottom and so on
3. Speed
