For Office 365 subscribers using PowerPoint Online, Morph is available when you are using files stored in OneDrive for Business or SharePoint Online. How to set up a Morph transition To use the Morph transition effectively, you'll need to have two slides with at least one object in common—the easiest way is to duplicate the slide and then move the object on the second slide to a different place, or copy and paste the object from one slide and add it to the next. Then, apply the Morph transition to the second slide to see what Morph can do to automatically animate and move your object. Here's how: • In the Thumbnail pane on the left side, click the slide that you want to apply a transition to, which should be the second slide you added the object, picture, or words you'd like to apply the morph effect to.

• On the Transitions tab, select Morph. Note: In PowerPoint for Android, select Transitions > Transition Effects > Morph. • Select Transitions > Effect Options to choose just how you'd like the Morph transition to work. You can move objects around on the slide, change colors, move words and characters around, and much more.

• Click Preview to see the Morph transition in action. Here's an example of how the Morph transition can seamlessly animate objects across slides.

This is the original slide: This is the second slide with the same objects after the Morph transition has been applied. The planets moved without needing individual motion paths or animations to be applied to them. Requirements See the following table for details on the minimum version numbers required in PowerPoint to create or play back Morph transitions. PowerPoint version What you can do with Morph or newer or newer Create and play Morph transitions PowerPoint 2019 PowerPoint 2019 for Mac Create and play Morph transitions PowerPoint 2016, installed with Click-to-Run 1 Version 1511 (Build 16.0.4358.1000) or newer Play Morph transitions PowerPoint 2016, installed with Microsoft Installer 1 (MSI) Build 16.0.4358.1000 or newer, with Office updates installed 2 Play Morph transitions PowerPoint 2016 for Mac PowerPoint 2013 PowerPoint for Mac 2011 PowerPoint 2010 PowerPoint 2007 Play a Fade transition instead of a Morph transition. PowerPoint Online Create and play Morph transitions PowerPoint for Android PowerPoint for iOS PowerPoint Mobile for Windows Create and play Morph transitions An Office 365 subscription is required for creating a Morph in these mobile apps. 2 The following Office updates must be installed. Without them, PowerPoint 2016 can't play a Morph transition, and instead it plays a Fade transition.

• • • • • Is my Office Click-to-Run or MSI-based? • Open an Office application, such as Outlook or Word. • Go to File > Account or Office Account. • If you see an 'Update Options' item, you have a Click-to-Run installation. If you don't see the 'Update Options' item, you have an MSI-based install. If you've used Magic Move in Keynote, you'll find that Morph can do similar things.

Tip: If you don't see the Animations pane, make sure you are in Normal view, and then click Animation Pane on the Animations tab. In the Animations pane, you can do any of the following: • Move or delete an animation Select the effect in the Animations pane.

At the top of the pane, click the arrow keys to change the order of your animations, or click the red X to delete an animation. To delete all animations from a slide at once, click the first item in the list, press and hold the SHIFT key as you click on the last item in the list, and then click the red X. • Change to a different animation Select the effect in the Animations pane, and click a different effect in the ribbon on the Animations tab. • Add another animation to the same object First select the text or object on the slide (not in the Animations pane), and then click the additional effect you want to apply. • Change the effect properties Select the effect in the Animations pane and make the changes you want under Effect Options. The settings available here depend on the type of animation you selected.
