|  PP07S-2.4.1 You can use animation to introduce objects onto a slide one at a time or with special animation effects. For example, a bulleted list can appear one bulleted item at a time, or a picture or chart can fade in gradually. The easiest way to apply animation effects is to use commands on the Animations tab. To quickly see if you like an animation, point to a name in the Animate list to display a live preview (New!) of it. If you like it, you can apply it. You can also design your own customized animations, including those with your own special effects and sound elements. Apply a Standard Animation Effect to Text or an Object

 Click the Animations tab.
 Click the Animate list arrow, and then point to an animation.
