The animation pane used to work fine, but recently, when I click on an animation number beside a textbox or picture, and animation pane comes up, it has the Effect Options, Timing and (when the animation is for text) Text Animations, but the part where all the animations are ordered doesn't show up. This is an example that I added an animation to to show what the animation pane looks like: As shown, there are only animation options there, not the usual animation order that is usually there. I need to put an animation before all of the others, but I can't, because the animation pane has deleted that part of itself. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
