How do I make the points on my powerpoint disappear one at a time?

Question

My professor says that he prefers if we make each point disappear after we talk about it, so that the class can focus on the exact point we are covering at that time. There is no extra credit or points for having it done, its just something he would like to see. Does anyone know how to do this? If this is not absolutely clear, I can provide more info...I really need HELP!

Answer 1

Assuming you have a list of 5 points on a slide. You list the 5 points in separate boxes, and using animation settings you make a box disappear by timer or by click.

Another way is to make 5 identical slides then delete 1 point from one..2 points from the next..etc.

Each click goes to a new slide with one less point.

BUT, why does the prof want it done this way at all? Generally a presentation slide would only have ONE main point. You talk about it and then move to the next slide with the NEXT main point.

Answer 2

It depends on which version of Office you have, but if you are using XP you can simply choose an exit effect under Custom Animation.
