zoom in and move to a spot at the same time?
I have a slide that consists of a scanned page of text, taken from a book,
centered on the screen. I need to zoom in on a certain spot on the page, highlighting a few lines of text. I am attempting to zoom in and move to the area of the page at the same time, without success. Is there a "clean" way to do this? Right now I am trying to do a motion path and a zoom in effect at the same time. I use both ppt 03 and 07. I did find that when I place the zoom effect first, the motion path needs to be scaled to the zoomed-in image. Tricky. |

It seems to me that it might be easier to simply have a separate slide with a zoomed in version of the document. --David -- David M.

Easier, yes, but not as cool.
I could also animate an arrow, or a box, or something, indicating the line on the page, then go to the zoomed-in part of the page on the next slide. But as I say, not as cool.

You could do as David suggested, only keep everything on one slide and have
your zoomed portion appear when you click on the slide that way you could use the fade in option which looks like a zoom -- Michael Koerner MS MVP - PowerPoint "Steve" wrote in message ...

zoom in and move to a spot at the same time?
OK. I'm picturing three slides. First slide is static. Second slide has the
motion path animation followed by an automatic transition to the third slide. Third slide has the zoomed in picture. I bet you can get this to be just as cool, but maybe not. I think Keynote on the Mac does this. --David On 11/13/09 12:12 PM, in article , "Steve" wrote: Easier, yes, but not as cool.

zoom in and move to a spot at the same time?
Ok, thanks to all. I was hoping to not have to split up the panning and
zooming. As I mentioned I tried it, and in my attempts to do both effects at once I found some "interesting" issues, and I never could get a "straight-line" zoom in. Here is what I got. Check out the motion path. http://www.honda600coupe.com/random/..._zoom_test.ppt Steve "David Marcovitz" wrote in message ... OK. I'm picturing three slides. First slide is static.

Hey maybe this isn't so bad after all. Look at this version, with extra
moves and a restore to the initial view. http://www.honda600coupe.com/random/...om_test_v2.ppt For the "real thing" I would be working with a higher-res image, so it'll look OK when zoomed in. Maybe the "wobbly" zoom effect isn't a bug, but a feature. Steve "Steve" wrote in message ... Ok, thanks to all. I was hoping to not have to split up the panning and zooming.
