Default Custom Animation of tables

Powerpoint 2007, Windows XP, Custom Animation.

Is it possible to animate the entrance, exit and modification etc of
individual columns, rows or cells of table? I can seem only to be able to
animate the whole table's extrance, exit, modification etc.

cheers & TIA

Chris

Unfortunately, you can't animate parts of a table. You can copy or cut it,
CTRL+ALT+V to paste special and choose EMF or WMF, then ungroup the EMF/WMF
twice. Group parts as necessary and animate.

Ditto Echo's reply - you cannot animate tables without copy/paste & ungroup.

One workaround: keep the table as is and cover it with rectangles to match
the background. (choose Slide Background Fill in the Shape Fill options)

Animate the rectangles with exit effects to reveal sections of the table;
entrance effects to hide the sections again.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Julie.
I have got both yours and Echos suggestions to work just fine.
Both have their good and bad characteristsics but do solve the problem.
