I build a page with several animations, Each text box will appear after I
click mouse. Everything works. However, in the normal view, all these
objects are displayed and they are all over the place, not a good looking
page!

Is there any way that I can hide the animation objects in the normal view?
Or, can someone show me how to "hide" an objects on the page and "unhide" it
when the mouse over?

Thanks.

Hello,

PowerPoint doesn't provide any "layers" control or sophisticated
selection/hide/show capabilities for complex slides with overlapping
content. However there are some workarounds involving VBA or add-ins (that
I'll leave to others to provide).

If you (or anyone else reading this message) think that it's important that
PowerPoint provide better layer and/or selection tools (without having to
resort to VBA or add-ins), don't forget to send your feedback (in YOUR OWN
WORDS, please) to Microsoft at:

http://register.microsoft.com/mswish/suggestion.asp

As with all product suggestions, it's important that you not just state
your wish but also WHY it is important to you that your product suggestion
be implemented by Microsoft. Microsoft receives thousands of product
suggestions every day and we read each one but, in any given product
development cycle, there are only sufficient resources to address the ones
that are most important to our customers so take the extra time to state
your case as clearly and completely as possible.

IMPORTANT: Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of
suggestions).

If your text boxes are all on top of one another, then you can use this neat
little trick.

On your slide, select the top-most text box on the stack.
Format | TextBox | {tab} Colors and Lines | {section} Fill | {pulldown}
Color | Background

This will cover the rest of the textboxes. Note however that whenever it is
displayed it will cover whatever is beneath it. So you want to make sure it
is the last thing to be revealed.

This will clean-up the hand-outs and display, but could lead you to forget
about these hidden textboxes.



Otherwise, you may need to resort to making a copy of your slide show and
deleting the objects you do not want to print, or changing to grayscale mode
and telling PowerPoint what objects to leave out.
