Experts don't care for clipart, but it offers an alternative for the non-artists among us (that includes me). With a few basic skills, you can turn a piece of clipart into a purposeful message using animation. In this article, you'll ungroup a clipart object and then animate individual pieces to create a simple spring scene. I've kept the example simple to keep you focused on the tools rather than the art. (This article includes instructions for PowerPoint 2003 through 2010.) Note: You can for this technique if you want to see it in action. 1: Insert the clipart You can work with most any graphic, as long as PowerPoint can ungroup it. The example clipart file is available at.
Download it and then insert it as follows: • Click the Insert tab. In PowerPoint 2003, choose Picture from the Insert menu and then choose From File. Skip to step 3. • In the Images group, click Picture. • Locate your file, as shown in Figure A. • Double-click it or select it and click Insert. Now you're ready to ungroup the aggregate so you can work with its many pieces, as follows: • Select the object and click the contextual Format tab.
In 2003, right-click the picture, choose Grouping, choose Ungroup, and then skip to step 3. • Choose Ungroup from the Group option's drop-down (in the Arrange group), as shown in Figure B. If PowerPoint dims the Group option, you can't ungroup the selected object using PowerPoint. Without specialized knowledge, it's easier to find a new graphic to work with.
• When PowerPoint prompts you to convert the object, click Yes. • Repeat step 2 to ungroup the object a second time.
Figure C shows the resulting pieces, ungrouped and selected. Figure B The Group drop-down is an icon in the Arrange group. Figure C PowerPoint ungroups the many pieces in the graphic file, enabling you to work with them individually. 4: Strip out the extra pieces At this point, assess the pieces you've just ungrouped to discern what you don't need. Click the areas you want to remove and paste them to another slide for safekeeping. You can always press [Ctrl]+Z to undo something.
Figure D shows the example graphic with the borders and background shapes removed. After deleting the letters in the middle (Spring), I also added more raindrops and a third cloud. Figure D Remove the pieces you don't need and add more where necessary. This step can be involved and tedious. You can select several pieces at once by dragging and selecting. Be sure you save your work periodically. 5: Start the shower We want the raindrops to fall from the sky in a gentle shower.
To make this happen, select them all — just hold down the [Shift] key while you click each one. With the raindrops selected, do the following: • Click the Animations tab. In 2003, choose Custom Animations from the Slide Show menu. • From the Animation drop-down, choose More Entrance Effects (just below the gallery thumbnails). In 2003, use the Add Effect drop-down in the Custom Animation pane.

• In the resulting dialog, select Float Down (in the Moderate section), as shown in Figure E. In 2003, use the Descend effect. Figure E We'll use Float Down effect to simulate rain falling from the sky. 6: Randomize the timing You can preview the slide in Normal view by clicking the Animation Pane option in the Advanced Animation group and clicking Play.
