Excel and PowerPoint - Part 2

To continue where I left off from the previous post. How do you animate a graph in PowerPoint when the graph is just window into Excel and not an actual PowerPoint graph?

Answer: You mask it with a bunch of white boxes and you set the exit animation. This method makes it look as if the chart is appearing, when in actuality it is the mask white box disappearing.

Obviously this isn't a perfect solution because things like axis lines are broken up and stuff, so it isn't really elegant, but it does the job.

If anyone has questions about anything Microstoft Office related, don't hesitate to ask it here.
