Precise Object Selection In Powerpoint

There are times when you need to select a very small object in PowerPoint. Or perhaps you need to select an object that's hidden behind another object. Try this: press Esc to make sure that nothing is selected. Now, press the Tab key
until the desired object is selected.

To see how this works, first draw a small rectangle. Next draw a larger rectangle over the small one so the small one is completely obscured. Press Esc to make sure all are deselected and then press Tab until the small rectangle is selected. You will see the handles to indicate that it's selected.

Animating Powerpoint ClipArt

How would you like to have a ClipArt picture put itself together right before the audience's eyes? To see how to create this kind of animation, run PowerPoint and choose Insert/Picture/ClipArt. Right-click the picture you want to use and choose Insert to place it on your slide. We suggest
you use the knife, fork, and spoon set found under Signs.

Now select the picture, then choose Draw/Ungroup. Next, choose Slide Show, Custom Animation. When the dialog box opens, click the Effects tab. In the "Check to animate slide objects" list, click the first object. Then hold down the Shift key and scroll down to select the last object.
With all objects selected, click the arrow at the right side of the "Entry animation and sound" list box and select an effect.

Now click the Order & Timing tab and then select the radio button labeled Automatically. Click OK to close the dialog box and then press F5 to run the slide show. Each part of the ClipArt picture will appear as you instructed when you chose an effect.
