You might be inspired to create an attention-grabbing slide show thatwill captivate your audience, reinforce your point, and stave off the BIG YAWN.Because animations are special visual effects that you can add to text or otherobjects, such as pictures or charts, you might be tempted to add at least oneanimation effect to every slide in your presentation. But, an importantguideline for creating effective presentations is to use animation effectssparingly. Instead, think of ways you can grab your audience's attention byeffectively using visual effects in key areas of your presentation: the opening,the key point, and the closing.Types of animation effectsThe animation effects in PowerPoint are grouped into three categories Entrance, Emphasis, and Exit. Within these categories, the animation effects arefurther grouped into descriptive subcategories  Basic, Subtle, Moderate,and Exciting.

• Entrance effects - Apply these effects to determine how text or another object enters the slide. For example, you can make a bulleted list of text fly onto the slide one bullet point at a time as you discuss each one.
• Emphasis effects - Apply these effects to emphasize key items. For example, after a bullet text flies in, you can make the previous ones transparent or change to another color so that the current bullet text stands out.
• Exit effects - Apply these effects to determine how text or another object leaves the slide. For example, make the bullet text fly off the slide after you've discussed it.
• Apply animation effects - You can set and define your animation effects in the Custom Animation dialog box (On the Slide Show menu, click Custom Animation).
• Apply preset animations - In addition to applying animation effects through the Custom Animations dialog box, you can apply predefined animation effects by pointing to Preset Animations on the Slide Show menu.
