Insert an on-screen timer


You can add and animated on-screen timer or progress bar to
make your presentation more interesting. For example, you might
want to include a timed quiz at the end of a training with a
countdown display. You can use the animation features in
PowerPoint to create many different kinds of timers.

If you’re looking for a timer to track how long you’ve been speaking
to stay within your allotted time limits, see View your speaker notes
as you deliver your slide show.

Create a countdown timer

This timer uses a simple but dramatic animation sequence. It


shows a countdown in one-second intervals from 5 to 1.

1. Begin by creating five text boxes with numbers 5 through 1. We


will animate these to disappear one at a time, in one-second
intervals.

Tip: Create the boxes in order from highest to lowest so it’s easier
to animate them in order.

2. To create text boxes, on the INSERT tab, in Text group, click Text
box, and draw the text box on your slide. Then add the number.
You can copy and paste to duplicate and then edit the new boxes.

3. Click inside the text rectangle with the number.

4. On the ANIMATIONS tab, in the Advanced Animation group,


click Add Animation, and go down to Exit. Here, you can select
the animation you want, for example Disappear.

5. Select the rest of the rectangles 4, 3, 2, 1 in order, and apply the


same exit animation, Disappear, to each, one at a time.

6. Click ANIMATIONS > Animation Pane to show the Animation


Pane. The numbering of the rectangles can be a little confusing
because PowerPoint is accounting for other objects on the slide.
Look at the number to the right, which shows the text in the
rectangle.

7. You want only the first rectangle with the number 5 to start on a
click, and you want it to stay on screen for one second before it
disappears. You want the other boxes to then each wait one
second before disappearing automatically, one by one.

Select Rectangle 5, and in the ANIMATIONS > Timing group,


leave the settings Start: On Click and Duration: .01, but set
Delay to 01.00, one second.

8. Now, in the Animation Pane, select the rest of the rectangles one
at a time, from 4 to 1. Again in the Timing group, set the timing
details to: Start: After Previous, Duration: Auto, and Delay:
01:00.

9. When you’re done, try it out by going to Slideshow Mode and


playing From Current Slide. Click to begin the countdown!

Tips:

You can preview your animation effects any time. On the


ANIMATIONS tab, in the Preview group, click Preview.

After the countdown, you might want to add an animation, such as


a text box that reads Finished! To do this, insert the text box,
select it, go to ANIMATIONS > Advanced Animation > Entrance
> Appear. Then, in the Timing group, set Start to After Previous,
set Duration to Auto, and set Delay to 00.00. Notice that this text
box also appears in the Animation Pane.

Note: You can just as easily animate shapes to appear or


disappear using the different entrance and exit animations in
PowerPoint. You can use any interval, but it’s a good idea to set the
same delay for each object in the sequence.

Format Shape > SHAPE OPTIONS > FILL > Solid fill.

4. On the ANIMATIONS tab, in the Animation group, select Fly In.

5. Click Effect Options, and select From Left.

6. In the Timing group, set the Duration to the number of seconds

you want the progress bar to run, for example, 30 seconds. For
Start, select On Click.

Here’s what your settings should look like:

When you’re done, try it out by going to Slideshow Mode and


playing From Current Slide. Click to begin the timer. The progress
bar should appear to grow from the left side of the screen for 30
seconds and then stop.

Note: You can also find other types of timers, such as stopwatch
timers, at the Office Store.
