Making Objects Move

Use object builds to make slide elements appear one at a time (or in groups), in any

order you like. For example, bulleted text can appear on the slide line by line. Or you

can focus on certain parts of a chart by moving them onto the slide one at a time.

You can also use object builds to move elements off a slide or to another position on
