The information in this article applies to:

 == Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows 95, version 7.0 == 

= SUMMARY =

In PowerPoint for Windows 95, version 7.0, you can build OLE objects such as a Microsoft Graph or Microsoft Organization Chart all at once. You can also go one step further by breaking down the object and building portions of the object to create an interesting animation on your slide.

NOTE: Only use this procedure if you will not need to modify the object later on.

= MORE INFORMATION =

In order to create these builds, use the following steps to ungroup the object and convert it to a non-OLE PowerPoint drawing object:

  Select the object.   On the Draw menu, click Ungroup. You will see this message: This is an imported object, not a group. Converting it to a PowerPoint drawing will discard embedded data or linking information. Convert to PowerPoint drawing?   Click OK. Each portion of the object has its own selection handles.   Click a blank area of your slide to deselect the object. 

You can now select each piece of the object and give it individual animation settings.
