Slide Transitions and Object Builds 77
Table Builds
You create object builds for slides with tables just as you would create any other object
builds. However, with tables, you have the option of animating the table itself. You can
choose to make it enter the screen row by row, column by column, as individual cells, all at
once, or in a variety of other ways.
To set up a table build:
1 Select the table and assign it a build style, direction, speed, and order, as described earlier.
2 Choose a delivery style from the Delivery pop-up menu.
m All At Once moves the whole table as a single object.
m By Row moves the table onto the screen row by row.
m By Column moves the table onto the screen column by column.
m By Cell moves the table onto the screen one cell at a time.
m By Row Content moves the empty table onto the screen, followed by each row of the cell
contents.
m By Column Content moves the empty table onto the screen, followed by each column of
the cell contents.
m By Cell Content moves the empty table onto the screen, followed by the cell contents,
one cell at a time.
If you choose a delivery style that builds the table by rows, columns, cells, or content, each of
those pieces will use the build style that you assigned to the whole table.
You can preview a table build in the preview screen of the Build Inspector.
Chart Builds
Like table builds, chart builds offer a variety of ways to move chart elements on and off the
screen during your presentation.
To set up a chart build:
1 Select the chart and assign it a build style, direction, speed, and order, as described earlier.
