How to Group and Animate Objects in MS PowerPoint – Guide

In a previous article, we showed you how to create animations without any individual animations. This means that you can save time by using the latest version of Microsoft PowerPoint. For those wondering, objects in Microsoft PowerPoint are any kind of element you can add to a slide. For example, an image is an object, text is an object, shapes are objects, and basically everything else.

The first thing you should do is open the Microsoft PowerPoint application. We can do this by clicking on the Start menu button and then scrolling down until you find PowerPoint. Click on it to launch the application. From there, you can open a new document or continue with one you’ve already created. The next step here is to click Insert Objects. To do this, select the slide that contains all the objects you want to use. Well, if you still don’t need to insert an object, let’s discuss how to Knife.

Launch the PowerPoint app

Now that you have PowerPoint open, the first thing you should do is click on the New button to create a new document. You can do this by clicking on the plus sign (+) next to the name of the document, or by clicking on the New button at the bottom of the application. You can also create a new document by selecting File > New > Document from the menu. Once you have created a new document, you can open it by clicking on its name in the left pane of PowerPoint.

Select Insert Objects

The next step is to click on the Insert Objects button. To do this, select the slide that contains all the objects you want to use. Now, if you haven’t inserted an object yet, let’s discuss how to do it.

Next, click on the Image button to insert an image into your document. You will be asked to choose a file size, and then you will be able to select a resolution. If you want to use a picture that is already online, you can click on the “Download” button and then select the file size you want.

group objects

After adding your objects, it’s time to group them all. We can click CTRL + select all objects individually or highlight them all by dragging the mouse cursor. Once you’ve done that, go ahead and right-click on one of the objects and from the drop-down menu select Group.

Select all objects in the scene and press the + key. Then, select the animation you want to apply and click on it.

Add animation to your grouped objects

If you want to add animation to your grouped objects in PowerPoint, just click on the Animations tab on the Ribbon located in PowerPoint.
