win7, PP2007



Have two animations that fly in from the left and would like one to 'hop' across the screen and then the other going back and forth. Yes I said hop. I"m putting together a short PPT for my grandkids and have an animated hopping bunny flying in from left to right of screen.
I have one at the bottom of the screen and the other near the top.
Trying to figure out how to make one hop across the screen, disappear and then the other does the same and then repeat 4-5 times or until we stop presentation..
I can get them to hop across screen, disappear and then the other one does the same. Just can't repeat. If I use 'repeat' then the first one hops across screen 4-5 times then the other so I don't think that will work.

This is not really possible in standard PowerPoint.

In some cases you can make the whole slide loop. But only if there are no further animations to run.

To get exactly what you need the only way is to use code to modify the inbuilt animations. As you might imagine this is a little bit technical but if you want a go there's a tutorial here. Make sure you work on a copy.

If you are totally stuck I can have a junior here do it for you but there would be a small charge for their time (probably only $15- $20) johnATSIGN pptalchemy.co.uk

No problem and tnx for the info. Just messing around for my grand-daughter. Will make them both go across screen at the same time and then repeat.

That's certainly a lot easier! I bet she loves it!
