Sub AnimateInReverse() Dim sldActive As Slide Dim timeMain As TimeLine Dim shpRect As Shape ' Create a slide, add a rectangular shape to the slide, and ' access the slide's animation timeline. With ActivePresentation Set sldActive = .Slides.Add(Index:=1, Layout:=ppLayoutBlank) Set shpRect = sldActive.Shapes.AddShape(Type:=msoShapeRectangle, _ Left:=100, Top:=100, Width:=300, Height:=150) Set timeMain = sldActive.TimeLine End With shpRect.TextFrame.TextRange.Text = "This is a rectangle." ' Add a random animation effect to the rectangle, ' and animate the text in reverse.
