Two questions about path animation in PowerPoint for Mac v.X:
1) Is there a way to currently create animation paths in PowerPoint
for Mac?
2) If I were to use PoiwerPoint 2002 for the PC to create animation
paths in a PowerPoint slide, would it play correctly if I ported the
slide to a PowerPoint presentation on the Mac (OSX, PowerPoint for Mac
v.X)?

Thank you.

Hi

Answers to both of your questions can be found in the help file for
PowerPoint XP. Path animations were introduced new in XP, so no previous
version has them.

If you would like to suggest that they be added to the Macintosh version of
PowerPoint please let Microsoft know your thoughts. The URL to do that is
