Microsoft PowerPoint is a presentation software that helps you create digital slideshows with animations. PowerPoint automatically generates generic names for any objects included in the slide, such as "Text1" and "Title1". When applying animations to these objects, these generic names can be a source of confusion. Renaming them with meaningful names may be a helpful way to organize your animations. The task can be simply done by using the "Selection Pane" under the "Home Tab."
Step 1
