APPLIES TO

This article was previously published under Q195100



SYMPTOMS
Animated items in your PowerPoint presentation do not dim after they animate when the timing for that item is set to automatic. This problem can affect any of the following items in your presentation:
 * Bulleted Lists
 * Autoshapes
 * Textboxes
 * Inserted objects, like Microsoft Graph



CAUSE
When you set animations to automatic, the dim affect needs a mouse click to be initiated. If the mouse-click is not initiated, the dim affect will not occur.



WORKAROUND
If you change the animation timings for your animated items to a mouse click and change the slide transition for that slide to automatic, the bullets will dim correctly but all other animation timings will be altered slightly.

NOTE: When setting a slide transition to automatic, all animation timings within that slide are given equal time intervals.

Additional query words: Dim after Ppt97 animate bullets automatic
