Create a Sequential Fade Effect in PowerPoint

This trick may be very simple for medium / expert PowerPoint user, but many beginners don't know about this trick, just like many of my friends.

Basically, this tutorial will teach you how to make some text or images fade in and fade out consecutively in only one slide.

Example of the result is the image below:

To create that, it is very easy, here's the steps:

1. Select the text / image that you want to animate
2. Go to Custom Animation (Located in Animations tab in PowerPoint 2007 or in Slide Show menu bar in PowerPoint 2003)
3. Click Add Effect and add any Entrance effect, then change Start: to With Previous
4. Click Add Effect again and add any Exit effect, this time make sure that Start: is On Click
5. Go back to step 1 until you have done animating text / images
