- Your character works as follows, click your character, then animation, and scroll to the bottom. you should see in "motion" a custom option. click and hold on the document, where you want your person to move.
- When each person is animated to the places you want them too, record slide show from that slide and click your sound and keep clicking write when you want each animation to happen.
