4)Go to the Animations screen and choose “Custom Animation”.
5)Click the Daily Double Word Art to select it and choose “Add Effect”. There should be a
great number of entrances to choose from.
6)Right click on the element that was just added to the Animation list and drag it to the top of
the list. Now right click and choose “Start with Previous”. This will cause the graphic to enter
when the slide is shown. Now choose “Effect Options”. The second menu box down should
say After Animation. Click the arrow and choose “Hide on Next Mouse Click”. Click Ok.
7)Finally, click on the question (just the question) in the main screen. Go back to the custom
animation panel and click Add Effect, then find the effect labeled “Appear”. Now, when you
go to the slide, you should have an appearing Daily Double graphic which disappears and
shows the question the next time the mouse is clicked.
P.S. If you want to add a Daily Double sound effect, then when you go into the “Effect
Options” menu to make it disappear after the mouse click, choose a sound to play.
