Supported PowerPoint Animations for Breeze 4.1

Issue


PowerPoint animations used in a Breeze 4.1 presentation do not behave the way they should.

Solution


Breeze 4.1 supports all Microsoft PowerPoint 97, 2000 and 2002 animations either exactly or through a substitution. Below is a list of the current supported animations and substitution of animations.

NOTE: Where there is anasterisk (*) the animation is supported or substituted as defined in the substitution column. Where there is ablank in the column, the animation does not exist in that version of PowerPoint. Where there is "Not Supported", the animation exists in PowerPoint but is not supported in Macromedia Breeze.
