SmartArt Animations

Logic: understand how SmartArt graphics animate

smart art animation conflict

A new feature of PowerPoint 2007 is SmartArt and associated animations.  But you have to be careful of the way the shapes animate. Remember:

1.      Any connectors between shapes but will not animate on their own.  They will always animate with the second shape.

2.      Shapes will only animate in the order they are built. That is, shapes one to four will animate one to four. Or reverse. But you can’t animate them, say, 1, 2, 4 and 3.

3.      Also, converting between versions will muck up your SmartArt animations no end. There is a work around, and that is to individually animate each object, and not the whole diagram!
