Hello,
|
| Is there a way to make a picture on a screen fly off to
| the right after a certain amount of time or upon a mouse
| click? All I can figure out is how to make things fly and
| appear ON.

This is the kind of thing that is very easy to do if you have the right
version of PowerPoint.
Exit animation effects were added to PowerPoint with the release of
PowerPoint 2002 for Windows and PowerPoint 2001 for the Macintosh. With
those versions as well as the latest versions of both products (PowerPoint
2003 for Windows, PowerPoint X for Macintosh OS X), adding an exit
animation effect is very easy to do. Since my main focus in PowerPoint for
Windows, I'll describe the steps for PowerPoint 2002 and 2003:
1) Select Object
2) Slide Show -> Custom Animation <this brings up the Custom Animation
(CA) task pane>
3) In the CA task pane click the Add Effect button and choose one of the
effects available from the Exit menu.
