1. Creating a Flip Animation
• To create a flip animation effect you need to have a
graphic for each side of an object.
• Insert the two graphics in a slide, one each for the
front and back view. They should be the same size.
• For the first sample, I used these two graphics:

2. Click to Flip
• Give each graphic two custom animations: an exit of Collapse and an
entrance of Stretch. Make sure that all animation directions are
across and all speeds are the same.
• Make the Collapse animation for each shape Start on click. Set the
Stretch animations to Start after previous.
• Order the animations as follows: Collapse for front graphic, Stretch
for rear graphic, Collapse for rear graphic, and Stretch for front
graphic.
• Open your Custom animation task pane to review these settings.

3. Click to Flip
• Position the front shape directly over the reverse shape
(use Order, Send to Back or Bring to Front from the
Shortcut Menu, if necessary).
• In Slide show view, click to flip the graphic and click
again to flip it back.
• If you just want to flip it once, use only the first two
animations – to flip more times, repeat the effects.
• Go to the next slide for another (cooler) example.

4. North Carolina State Quarter

5. Trigger Flips
• To flip ‘on demand’ add animation triggers.
• Draw two shapes to use as triggers - I used
arrows.
• Go to effect options for the first Collapse
animation.
• On the Timing tab, click the Triggers button
and choose Start effect on click of: Right
Arrow.
• Move the first Stretch animation below the
collapse under Trigger: Right Arrow.
• Go to effect options for the remaining
collapse animation and set the trigger to
Start effect on click of: Left Arrow
• Move the remaining Stretch animation to
below the Collapse under Trigger: Left
Arrow.
• Show the slide and click the arrows to flip
when you want!
