Example

This example creates a shape with text on a slide and adds a random animation to the shape, ensuring the shape's text animates in reverse.

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.

    With timeMain.MainSequence

        .ConvertToAnimateInReverse _

            Effect:=.AddEffect(Shape:=shpRect, effectId:=msoAnimEffectRandom), _

            AnimateInReverse:=msoTrue

    End With



End Sub
