Using specialized animations, you can quickly apply animations specific to certain objects using the Animations tab (New!).
For example, for a text object, you can introduce the text on your
slide all at once or by word or letter. Similarly, you can introduce
bulleted lists one bullet item at a time and apply different effects to
older items, such as graying the items out as they are replaced by new
ones. You can animate charts by introducing chart series or chart
categories one at a time.
