You can animate drawing objects, text
objects, and graphic
objects (images) on your pages to make your presentation more interesting.
You can create animation images (frames) by assembling objects from
your page. The animation effect is achieved by rotating through the
static frames that you create.
You cannot modify
an animated object after you create it.
Instead, you can select the object, click , make your
modifications, and then save it as a different animation.

Object Individually button
to create a separate animation frame
for each of the selected objects.

can add objects to the animation sequence as long as
the Image Animation window is opened. To delete
an image, click the Delete Current Image button.

GIF), you

displaying a frame and the number of times an animation sequence is
