I downloaded the demo file from Julie Terbers website. How did she make the
graphics move and resize? I like the resizing it looks more animated.

Can you give us a link, Joseph. I don't have the issue with me, and I don't
have the patience to try to find what you're referring to on the
Presentations site. :-)

Although I did find and have to applaud this article:
Does PowerPoint make you stupid?

Joe, you win the award for terse posts today. Since you didn't tell me which
presentation or what graphics you're after, I will take a guess.

Basically, the graphics in the Trade Show Loops presentation have had
multiple animations added to them. If you open PPT 2002 or 2003, then open
ImageScan.PPS, you can open it as Read Only. Then go to View/TaskPane, and
in the TaskPane, select the Custom Animation task pane.

There, go to, for instance, slide 2. Select the first thing on the list in
the custom animation task pane. Click on the arrow to the right of it and
choose Show Advanced Timeline so you can see what's happening.

Now, with that first object in the custom animation task pane selected
(Image Scan 926), you can see that it has a diagonal right motion path
applied. (Since the actual graphic is moving up and to the left, though, you
know that the motion path was edited when the animation was created.) The
second thing in the list is also Image Scan 926, and it has a grow/shrink
emphasis applied. It happens at the same time as the first animation, so
while the imagescan926 is moving up and to the right, it's also growing to
170% of its original size.
