How to Open and Present an Animated Presentation
Adding animations is a good way to make an otherwise boring presentation more lively and entertaining. Some presentation software does not support animation and requires a third party add-on to play the shockwave files (.swf) in which the flash animations are stored. Microsoft PowerPoint 2010 allows users to directly add and play animations in a presentation.
