Telling animations to stay!

OK... I want to animate an object from point A to point B
in one slide and then continue the object's use in a
second slide at point B... Is there a way I can get the
object to stay put without having to tweek and retweek
its position in the second slide?
 
Create your first slide with an animation motion path to go from point A to
point B.
Highlight the object and click on the copy, paste icons to paste a duplicate
of the object on your slide. Align the green arrow on your second object on
top of the red arrow of the first object (if you can't get it exactly, right
click, select format and use the position tab for finer adjustments of the
position). Once you have it lined up, right click on the second object and
remove custom animation. Click on Insert, duplicate slide. This is your
second slide. Delete the second object from slide one and the first object
from slide two.

HTH,

Hi Becky,

Sorry, should have said line the bottom of green arrow in the second object
up with the red line attached to the red arrow of the first object. That's
the actual center stopping point in the animation path.

Hello,

PowerPoint doesn't provide the functionality (make it easier to position an
object on slide N+! at the point where similar object ended <after
animation> on slide N(?), or have objects persist between slides<?>) that
you are looking for.

If you (or anyone else reading this message) think that it's important that
PowerPoint provide this kind of functionality, don't forget to send your
feedback (in YOUR OWN WORDS, please) to Microsoft at:

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).

Becky,

In addition to the advice of others, there is something you can do to make
it easier to do. Get a screen shot of your object *after* it has animated.
Paste that to your next slide so that the pasted screen shots' edges fit
your slide exactly, and crop the edges of the image close enough to where
the object is. That way you can have your object on the next slide, in the
spot where it finished its animation.
