You used to be able add transition effects to data points in a slide show. You could start with the axis and transition in each data set. I can not find a way to do now with XP. Is that still possible?
 
In normal view, display the slide that has the chart you want to animate and select it.
On the Slide Show menu, click Custom Animation.
In the Custom Animation task pane, click the down arrow on , and do one of the following:
Animate the chart as a whol

If you want to make the text or object enter the slide show presentation with an effect, point to Entrance and then click an effect.
If you want to add an effect to text or an object that is on the slide, point to Emphasis and then click an effect.
If you want to add an effect to text or an object that makes it leave the slide at some point, point to Exit and then click an effect.
If you want to add an effect that makes an object move in a specified pattern, point to Motion Paths and then click an effect.
 
Thanks Nancy. But that still only lets me animate the chart as a whole. I can not animate the data series in the chart. Used to be possible?
 
Shep,
Many of the effects will only work on the chart as a whole. Play around and
see if choosing a different effect gets you the ability to bring your chart
in point by point.(Also, some of the effects only work on some chart types.
If you are having problems, it might be your chart type as well.)
