Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 Effects Tutorial

ok thanks for this... though i'm still not getting the wanted results :( maybe because i'm not following correctly....

when i said trigger i meant like
-Make and animation for something
-Make an animation for something that you want Auto Reverse for
-Make animation, then go to effects option on it and click on triggers (its either in effects or the other tab)
-Then Click The Thing you want it to start on
-on effects you can pick ato reverse
-Choose on timing, the 'Until' button or something like that, (Youll notice it the option says '(none)' and click Until Next Slide or whatever you want....
:)

I'm not finding triggers for "Auto-Reverse". Unless you're talking about the "Rewind when done playing" option under Timing, which allows triggers. But that's a totally different thing, because it only cancels the animation, without actually reversing it. Can you give a step-by-step of your method?

easy, put a trigger (If you want to) and set the time, you can also pick the speed :)

Assassin2B, that's actually a great tip and does save time. But when using Auto-Reverse, you cannot control when the reverse animation takes place, because it is done automatically. Though please reply if I'm wrong about this :)
