Animate text, objects, and charts in PowerPoint for Mac

You can animate the text, objects, and charts in your presentation to give them visual effects, including entrances, exits, changes in size or color, and even movement. You can use any animation effect by itself or combine multiple effects together. For instance, you can make a line of text fly in from the left while it grows in size by applying both a Fly In entrance effect and a Grow/Shrink emphasis effect.

Note: Transitions are another way to add visual effects when moving from one slide to another in a slide show. For more information about how to add transitions between slides, see Add, edit, or remove transitions.
