Sub AddMotionPath()
Dim effCustom As Effect
Dim animMotion As AnimationBehavior
Dim shpRectangle As Shape
'Adds shape and sets effect and animation properties
Set shpRectangle = ActivePresentation.Slides(1).Shapes _
.AddShape(Type:=msoShapeRectangle, Left:=100, _
Top:=100, Width:=50, Height:=50)
Set effCustom = ActivePresentation.Slides(1).TimeLine.MainSequence _
.AddEffect(Shape:=shpRectangle, effectId:=msoAnimEffectCustom)
Set animMotion = effCustom.Behaviors.Add(msoAnimTypeMotion)
'Sets starting and ending horizontal and vertical positions
With animMotion.MotionEffect
.FromX = 0
.FromY= 0
.ToX = 50
.ToY = 50
End With
