Animating a bar and line graph
By using custom animation I can animate my bar and line graph by choosing the
animate by series option. However, no matter how the information is shown on the data sheet, i.e. data for line graph first, then data for bar graph second, the animation seems to automatically animate the bar graph first. Any suggestions as to how I can animate each item separately, so that the line graph appears before the bar graph? Also when I animate using the series animation, you don't get the option of re-ordering the animations in the task pane. that would have been the easy option! Thanks, -- LCH |

Animating a bar and line graph
Chart animation is rudimentary at best.
I would probably just ungroup the chart, regroup the line, animate what I needed, and be done with it. (I'd copy the chart and ungroup the copy. The original I'd drag off the edge of the slide, right-click, Format Object, and size to 5% x 5%.) Alternatively, you might experiment with charting the line on a secondary axis. (You can make the secondary axis invisible with no tickmarks or labels, if necessary....) I dunno if that will work or not, but it's worth a shot. -- Echo [MS PPT MVP] http://www.echosvoice.com What's new in PPT 2007? http://www.echosvoice.com/2007.htm Fixing PowerPoint Annoyances http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/powerpointannoy/ "LCH" wrote in message ...
