Grow/Shrink Animations – PowerPoint 2007

This Grow/Shrink animations PowerPoint tutorial demonstrates how to use grow/shrink animations and offers examples for some of the applications, with tips to maximise the animation’s impact.

I sure appreciate the pointer on how to get an object to grow just in the “up” direction by grouping an invisible object underneath it! Very slick!

Jessica,
The trick with the invisible box is nice, but it doesn’t seem to work with very large scaling. I made each box .1″, then scaled the group 1000%. The edge does not stay exactly aligned with where it started. Can you reproduce this? Is there anything that can be done to fix it?
Thanks,
David

Hi David, I have discussed this with our designers and it seems that this is a known PowerPoint bug that comes into play when you scale things by large margins. Unfortunately, there isn’t really a set fix and you just have to adjust it manually by eye. Sorry we can’t be of more help – hopefully this is something Microsoft will address soon!
