PowerPoint’s morphing transition is an effective and quick way to animate several objects at once when creating an animation. It can become the PowerPoint animator’s go-to tool.

To achieve the same effect as illustrated above with the animated GIF, follow these steps:
- Insert four arrows off your first slide; i.e. somewhere to the side. Name the arrows “!!Arrow”. The double exclamation marks are important as they tell PowerPoint which shapes to morph where.

- Duplicate your first slide by clicking on it in the slide view panel and typing Ctrl + D. The names, as given in the first slide, will remain the same (it is important that the double exclamation marks stay). Move the four arrows to their desired positions and select the Morph transition.
