Introduction
In PowerPoint, you can animate text and objects such as clip art, shapes, and pictures on the slide. Animation—or movement—on the slide can be used to draw the audience's attention to specific content or to make the slide easier to read.
In this lesson, you will learn how to animate text and objects on slides using built-in and custom animation effects.
