Creating a fire animation in Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 involves using custom animations

and image effects. Here are the steps to achieve this:

1. Open PowerPoint 2007:

o Start Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 and open a new or existing presentation
where you want to add the fire animation.
2. Insert Fire Images:
o Find a series of images that represent fire (you can search online for "fire
animation frames" or create your own using image editing software).
o Save these images to your computer.
3. Add the First Image:
o Go to the slide where you want to add the fire animation.
o Click on the "Insert" tab, then select "Picture."
o Browse to the location where your fire images are saved and insert the first
image.
4. Position and Resize the Image:
o Adjust the size and position of the fire image on the slide to fit your needs.
5. Add More Images:
o Repeat the steps to insert additional fire images. Position and resize each one
exactly over the first image to ensure continuity in the animation.
6. Open Custom Animation Pane:
o Go to the "Animations" tab and click on "Custom Animation." This will open
the Custom Animation pane on the right side of the screen.
7. Animate the Images:
o Select the first fire image.
o In the Custom Animation pane, click on "Add Effect," then choose
"Entrance," and select "Appear."
o With the first image still selected, click on "Add Effect" again, choose "Exit,"
and select "Disappear."
8. Set Timing for Animation:
o Click on the drop-down arrow next to the entrance effect of the first image in
the Custom Animation pane.
o Select "Timing" and set the "Start" option to "With Previous."
o Adjust the "Delay" and "Duration" settings as needed. A short duration (e.g.,
0.5 seconds) often works well for fire effects.
o Repeat these steps for the exit effect, ensuring it starts after the previous effect
(if not set automatically).
9. Animate Subsequent Images:
o Repeat the animation steps (adding entrance and exit effects, setting timing)
for each additional fire image. Ensure that each image's entrance effect starts
after the previous image's exit effect to create a continuous animation loop.
10. Test the Animation:
o Click on the "Slide Show" tab and start the slide show from the current slide to
test the animation.
o Observe the fire animation and make any necessary adjustments to timing or
effect settings.
11. Looping the Animation (Optional):
o If you want the fire animation to loop continuously, you can set the slide to
advance automatically and loop.
 o Go to the "Slide Show" tab, click on "Set Up Slide Show," and check the box
for "Loop continuously until 'Esc'."
o Under the "Transitions" tab, set the slide to advance automatically after a
certain duration that matches the length of your fire animation sequence.

By following these steps, you should be able to create a convincing fire animation in
PowerPoint 2007.
