Hi,

I have a figure which I intend to have move up the slide over 4 separate
motion paths (as the figure is taller than the slide). Between each motion
path I would like to have a series of custom animations appear to highlight
various parts of the figure (arrows etc.). However, how do I know where to
draw these custom animations to position them correctly? I can't seem to
figure out how to look at the motion path frame by frame in the normal slide
view so that I can add custom animations to the right spot.

Any ideas are most appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris

Trial and error, my friend. PowerPoint lacks a true timeline, as you'll find
in a NLE like Premiere, so there is no way to know exactly where elements
will be on a slide at a moment in time.

I find it ironic that the Animation task pane has a setting called Advanced
Timeline, which is nothing more than a little rectangle representing the
speed and duration of an object's movement. Nothing advanced about that!

Chris,
If you need to know only the final resting positions for the motion paths
then you can try this free add-in http://skp.mvps.org/mptools.htm
