PPT2000: Animations Don't Dim with Automatic Timings
This article was previously published under Q195103
Animated items in your PowerPoint presentation do not dim after they
are animated. This problem can affect any of the following items in your presentation:
- Bulleted Lists
- AutoShapes
- Text Boxes
- Inserted Objects, such as Microsoft Graph
This problem occurs when you set the timing for the animated item to automatic. When you set animations to automatic, the Dim Effect needs a mouse click to start. If no mouse-click is initiated, the Dim Effect does not occur.
To resolve this problem, obtain Microsoft Office 2000 Service Release 1/1a (SR-1/SR-1a).
To obtain SR-1/SR-1a, click the article number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

OFF2000: How to Obtain and Install Microsoft Office 2000 Service Release 1/1a (SR-1/SR-1a)
To temporarily work around this problem, change the animation timings for your animated items to a mouse click, and change the slide transition for that slide to automatic. The bullets now dim correctly, but all other animation timings are altered slightly.
NOTE: When you set a slide transition to automatic, all animation timings within that slide are given equal time intervals.
This problem was corrected in Microsoft Office 2000 SR-1/SR-1a.
APPLIES TO
- Microsoft PowerPoint 2000 Standard Edition

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
