Then copy and paste it 5 times to make a stack of six. 3. Select the whole stack and add custom animation. Select entrance, peek in, on mouse click, slow. 4. Then import the picture again and place below the line. This is important as it will be the last picture in the list when you add the trigger. 5. Then, select all.

This is the tough bit as it is sometimes difficult to find the correct picture. Your stack will have numbers on each one.
