Animated navigation is a flashy style that gives presentation materials a professional touch. With this style, navigation elements initially are invisible, and then subsequently fade into view whenever needed. The presenter clicks trigger objects (either shapes or picture thumbnails) to display desired menus on demand. Think of these menus as similar to drop-down or pop-up navigation on Web sites.
