PowerPoint 2000 animation problem

I want to cover parts of a picture with rectangles that I
then animate to disappear to reveal appropriate parts of
the picture when I want to do so. I've done this, and
instead of disappearing, the slide comes on with them
transparent, and the animation makes them appear,
reversing the effect I want. Any ideas as to what is
wrong?

Thanks.
 
Sounds silly, but make sure you animated them to EXIT, the first choice is
entrance...you may have just clicked the wrong thing
 
Steve,
Exit animations were added in 2002. For 2000, you are going to have to fake
it by using multiple slides. First slide shows none of the picture revealed.
Successive ones show the picture being revealed piece by piece because less
of the picture is covered on the slides. If you don't know which order you
want the slides to be revealed, you will need to link boxes to the slides
and click there. This gets much harder, as you need more combinations of
boxes. (IF you really need to do out of order reveals, you are better off
doing it either with VBA or just upgrading.)

Hi,

If you both come to PowerPoint Live you'll see how to do this without
multiple slides and without vba ;-)

Kathy,

It's part of a keynote address so you should have no clashes <vbg>.
