Microsoft PowerPoint is a popular program used for presentations; it has features to create appealing presentations to showcase to your audience, for instance, slide shows. The slide show displays your points as a still image on a projection screen, but PowerPoint offers much more than slide shows; you can add animation effects to your image and give it life. If you want to create a scribble animation effect of a text or a scribble circle animation over a particular text, you can do that.
