View the Animated Background

We've used Flash to deliver the animation effect for this background. If the graphic below is moving then you've probably already downloaded the right plug-in software. If not you can do so at www.adobe.com. Please note that we have only tested the animation on Windows machines so we don't know if it will work with a Mac.

The animation should work with any version of PowerPoint from 2000 onwards. It does not appear to work with the stand-alone PowerPoint player. If you have any problems getting it to work please let us know.

Thumbnail of the animated background

Below you can watch a miniature version of the background in action. We have included two pages to get you started. If you want to add additional pages just copy one of the existing ones and paste it where you want it.

How to use animated backgrounds

There are several things you need to watch when using animated backgrounds with PowerPoint. When you want the text to appear don't left-click on the moving parts of the presentation. Instead move the mouse and click on the static section of the image. It's important to link the image on the background to your message. That way the audience will remember your message when they think about the graphics.

PowerPoint Alternative Software

Even though PowerPoint is powerful it can also limit what can be done. It took us much longer than expected to develop the dynamic background on this page. We would have liked to add some additional design features but we found they weren't possible because of technical limitations. We have developed several stand-alone presentation packages that do not these limitations. If you want to see what is possible outside of PowerPoint just click on the software button below.
