Lab 2B: Replacing One Picture with Another

In this lab session, you place one photo on top of another, and animate the top one so that it disappears, revealing the one underneath, after a delay.

Level of difficulty: Moderate

Time to complete: 10 to 15 minutes

1. Open the presentation file if it is not already open.

   Start in your completed file from the previous project (MyLab2A.pptx), or open  Lab2B.pptx from the Labs folder if you did not do the previous lab.

2. Save the file as  MyLab2B.pptx.

3. Display slide #3, and arrange the pictures so that they are stacked one on top of the other.

   1. Click slide #3 in the Slides pane.

   2. Drag the pictures so that they are both in the same spot in the center of the slide. Only the top one (where all three dogs are sitting up) should be visible.

      

4. Add a Checkerboard exit animation to the top picture so that it goes away after being displayed for six seconds.

   1. If it does not already appear, display the Custom Animation task pane by clicking Custom Animation on the Animations tab.

   2. Click the top picture to select it.

   3. Choose Add Effect Exit More Effects.

5. Preview the slide's animation and check your work.

   2. Press Esc to return to PowerPoint.

6. Save your work.
