How to Have Multiple Smart Arts on the Same Slide

To provide additional accent or bear witness your information in phases, you can add an blitheness to your SmartArt graphic or to an private shape in your SmartArt graphic. For example, you tin can make a shape wing in chop-chop from one side of your screen or slowly fade in.

Add an animation

To breathing a SmartArt graphic, go to the SmartArt graphic you want to breathing, click Animations, and in the Animation group, click the type of animation y'all desire. Click More to see more choices. (To remove the animation, simply click None.)

In one case you've added the animation, you can animate individual shapes.

1. On the Animations tab, in the Animation grouping, click Effect Options, and so click One by I.

   

2. In the Advanced Animation group, click Animation Pane.

   

3. In the Blitheness Pane listing, click the aggrandize chevron to display all of the shapes in your SmartArt graphic.

4. Select all of the shapes that you don't want to animate, (hold down CTRL and then click each shape in turn), and then click None in the Blitheness group. (This removes the animation consequence from the shape. It doesn't remove the shape from your SmartArt graphic.)

   

5. For each remaining shape, correct-click the shape in the Animation Pane, and then select the animation options you want.

Tip:Use the Animation Painter (on the Animations tab in the Advanced Animation group) to quickly re-create animations from i SmartArt graphic to another.

1. Go to the SmartArt graphic with the animation y'all want to opposite.

2. On the Animations tab, in the Animation group, click the dialog box launcher .

   

3. Click the SmartArt Animation tab, so select the Reverse society check box.

   

You tin tweak your animation using issue options.

Of import:Some animation furnishings that aren't bachelor for SmartArt graphics are available for shapes. To apply those furnishings to a SmartArt, right-click information technology, and then click Convert to Shapes.

1. Go to the SmartArt graphic with the animation you lot desire to accommodate.

2. On the Animations tab, in the Advanced Blitheness group, click Animation Pane.

   

3. In the Animation Pane list, click the arrow to the correct of the animation y'all want to change, and and so click Effect Options.

   

4. In the dialog box, on the SmartArt Animation tab, in the Group graphic listing, select one of the following options:

   Pick	Clarification
   Equally One Object	Animates the whole SmartArt graphic as one large moving-picture show or object.
   All at Once	Animates each shape individually at the same fourth dimension. The difference between this animation and Equally i object is virtually notable in animations where the shapes rotate or grow. With All at once, each shape rotates or grows individually. With As one object, the whole SmartArt graphic rotates or grows.
   One past I	Animates each shape individually, one afterwards the other.
   Level at Once	Animates all shapes at the same level at the aforementioned fourth dimension. For case, if you take 3 shapes with Level 1 text and three shapes with Level 2 text, the Level 1 shapes are animated together commencement, and then Level 2 shapes are animated together.
   Level Ane by I	Animates each shape within each level one afterwards the other earlier going to the shapes in the next level. For example, if y'all take four shapes with Level i text and three shapes with Level 2 text, each of the Level 1 shapes are animated one after the other, before each of the three Level 2 shapes are blithe i after the other.

Notes:

• The All at Once animation behaves differently than the Every bit One Object animation. For example, if you selection the All at One time option and the Fly In animation, shapes that accept farther to fly will fly at a faster speed so that all of the shapes go far at their destinations at the same time. If you pick this same blitheness and the As One Object option, all the shapes fly at the same speed.

• If y'all pick whatsoever animation except As I Object, the groundwork of the SmartArt graphic volition show on your slide. You can't breathing the groundwork, so if it's messing up your slide, try setting the fill and lines of your SmartArt graphic to None.

1. Go to the SmartArt graphic with the animation you desire to remove.

2. On the Animations tab, in the Advanced Animation grouping, click Animation Pane.

   

3. In the Animation Pane listing, click the arrow to the right of the animation yous want to change, and then click Remove.

To decide which animation works best, look at the information in the SmartArt graphic text pane, because most animation starts with the elevation bullet in the Text pane and moves down from there. Alternatively, you lot tin can play an animation in contrary order (run into the section "Reverse the society of an animation" above). If you tin can't run into the Text pane, click Text Pane in the Create Graphic grouping on the SmartArt Tools Design tab.

The animations that are bachelor depend on the layout of your SmartArt graphic, but you can e'er animate all of the shapes at once or i shape at time.

Animations that y'all apply to a SmartArt graphic are dissimilar from animations that you can apply to shapes, text, or WordArt in the post-obit ways:

• Connecting lines betwixt shapes are always associated with the second shape and are not animated individually.

• If you utilise an animation to shapes in a SmartArt graphic, the animation plays in the gild that the shapes appear. The order tin can be reversed only equally a whole.

  Example:     If you have six shapes and each contains a single alphabetic character A through F, yous can play the animation from A to F or F to A. You lot tin't play the blitheness out of order, such as A to C and and so F to D. but, you can create multiple slides to mimic this social club. In this example, you lot tin create one slide that animates shapes A to C and a 2nd slide that animates shapes F to D.

• When y'all switch SmartArt graphic layouts, any animation that you lot take added is transferred to the new layout.

Add an animation

Important:Additional blitheness furnishings, such every bit the Colour Typewriter Entrance issue or the Flip Exit issue, are available simply for shapes. Effects that are unavailable for SmartArt graphics will appear dimmed. If you want to utilize animation effects that are unavailable for SmartArt graphics, convert your SmartArt graphic into individual shapes, so add the animation effect.

1. Click the SmartArt graphic that you want to animate.

2. On the Animations tab, in the Animations grouping, select the animation that y'all want from the Animate listing.

   

1. Click the SmartArt graphic that you lot want to animate.

2. On the Animations tab, in the Animations group, select Past branch ane by one or Past level one by one.

   

3. On the Animations tab, in the Animations grouping, click Custom Animation.

   

4. In the Custom Animation list, click the aggrandize chevron to display all of the shapes in your SmartArt graphic.

5. In the Custom Animation list, select all of the shapes that y'all don't want to breathing, past holding downwardly the CTRL primal and clicking each shape in plough.

6. Click Remove. This removes the animation issue from the shape. It doesn't remove the shape itself from your SmartArt graphic.

7. For each remaining shape, select the exact animation options that you want by selecting the shape in the Custom Animation listing, so either right-clicking the shape or clicking Change.

8. When you've finished selecting the animation options that you want, close the Custom Blitheness pane.

1. Click the SmartArt graphic with the animation that you want to reverse.

2. On the Animations tab, in the Animations group, click Custom Animation.

   

3. Right-click the custom animation in the Custom Blitheness list, and then click Effect Options.

4. Click the SmartArt Animation tab, and then select the Reverse order check box.

When you animate your SmartArt graphic, depending on the layout that you lot employ, y'all can tweak your animation using the following options.

Blitheness	Description
Every bit 1 object	The animation is applied as though the entire SmartArt graphic is one large picture or object.
All at one time	All of the shapes in the SmartArt graphic are animated at the same fourth dimension. The difference betwixt this animation and As 1 object is most notable in animations where the shapes rotate or grow. With All at in one case, each shape rotates or grows individually. With Equally one object, the entire SmartArt graphic rotates or grows.
One by one	Each shape is animated individually, one later the other.
By branch one past ane	All of the shapes in the same branch are blithe at the same time. This animation works well with branches of an organisation chart or a bureaucracy layout and is similar to Ane by one.
By level at once	All shapes at the same level are animated at the aforementioned time. For case, if you have a layout with three shapes that contain Level 1 text and three shapes that incorporate Level 2 text, the three shapes that contain Level 1 text are animated together first, and then the 3 shapes that contain Level 2 text are animated together.
By level one by one	The shapes in the SmartArt graphic are blithe first by level then individually within that level. For example, if you take a layout with four shapes that contain Level ane text and three shapes that contain Level 2 text, each of the four shapes that contain Level 1 text are animated individually get-go, so each of the three shapes that contain Level ii text are animated individually.

Notes:

• When you apply All at once, some animations behave differently than they do when yous apply As one object. For example, with the All at once option applied to the Fly In blitheness, shapes that have farther to wing will fly at a faster speed so that all of the shapes arrive at their destinations at the same time. With As 1 object applied, all parts of the SmartArt graphic are animated in the aforementioned way (in the example of the Wing In example, at the same speed).

• If yous apply any animation to your SmartArt graphic other than Every bit 1 object, then any other animations y'all employ to that same SmartArt graphic cannot be Every bit 1 object. Multiple animations applied to SmartArt graphics must be all Every bit one object or all non Equally one object.

• If you utilise whatever animation (except Every bit ane object) to a SmartArt graphic, the groundwork for the SmartArt graphic is always visible on the slide. It is not possible to breathing the groundwork, although the background may non be apparent to you if it does not take a fill or lines applied to it.

• If you apply an animation, such as Fly In, to your SmartArt graphic and then delete the animation for a detail shape, the shape from which you lot deleted the animation will start out visible on the slide.

• If you re-create a SmartArt graphic that has an blitheness applied to it to another slide, the blitheness is also copied.

1. Click the SmartArt graphic with the animation that you want to remove.

2. On the Animations tab, in the Animations group, in the Breathing list, click No Animation.

   

To make up one's mind which blitheness works all-time with the layout for your SmartArt graphic, view your data in the SmartArt graphic Text pane, since near animation starts at the top of the Text pane and moves down. Alternatively, you can play an blitheness in reverse order (run into the department "Reverse the guild of an animation" above). If the Text pane is non visible, you tin brandish it.

The animations that are available depend on the layout that you choose for your SmartArt graphic, simply you lot can always animate all of the shapes at once or one shape at time.

The all-time manner to breathing your SmartArt graphic is to use the choices in the Animate list. If necessary, you can customize an animation in the Custom Animation task pane.

Animated items are noted on the slide by nonprinting numbered tags. These tags stand for to the animations in the Custom Animation list, are displayed to the side of your SmartArt graphic, and appear only in Normal view with the Custom Animation job pane displayed.

Animations that you apply to a SmartArt graphic are dissimilar from animations that you tin can apply to shapes, text, or WordArt in the post-obit ways:

• Connecting lines betwixt shapes are always associated with the second shape and are not blithe individually.

• If yous utilize an blitheness to shapes in a SmartArt graphic, the animation plays in the social club that the shapes appear. The order tin can be reversed merely every bit a whole. For case, if you have six shapes and each contains a single letter A through F, you can play the blitheness from A to F or F to A. You cannot play the animation out of order, such as A to C and then F to D. Yet, you can create multiple slides to mimic this gild. In this example, you lot can create one slide that animates shapes A to C and a 2nd slide that animates shapes F to D.

• When y'all switch to a different layout, any animation that you have added is transferred to the new layout.

Note:Apply blitheness sparingly to prevent obscuring your bulletin or overwhelming your audience.
