SYMPTOMS
========

If you apply an animation effect, such as Hide After Animation, and set the
timing to start automatically, the animation effect does not work on the last
object on the slide. (To locate the Hide After Animation effect, select the
object, click Custom Animation on the Tools menu, click the Effects tab, and
then click the After Animation drop-down list.)

CAUSE
=====

Animation effects that control actions occurring after the animation for a
selected object, occur with the next build step, such as a mouse click. They do
not occur between automatic builds.

WORKAROUND
==========

To work around this problem, set the timing option to On Mouse Click. To do
this, follow these steps:

1. Select the object.

2. On the Tools menu, click Custom Animation.

3. Click the Timing tab.

4. In the Start Animation section, click On Mouse Click.

5. Click OK.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at
the beginning of this article.
