How do you change animation speed

Thanks again Gary, but I now have it sorted. I missed putting a capital on Appear - the animation I was using. I noticed you were using Blur and that has got the duration speed but not Appear - it is the only animation without controls - this is crazy! Is it just something they've missed in the update or yet another iWork feature that has been removed? I hate most of the other effects for a professional presentation and the one you would really like to control doesn't have a control! On my very new machine, it is just way too fast - its a waste of time having it. I'm not going to go back through my presentation now - too late, but I will use Dissolve next time which gives the same effect but have some control! I also send through YET ANOTHER feature missing / bug report. There is some nice new stuff in the latest versions of iWork and I like the new formatting palette but some stuff they have removed...

Thank you very much for taking the time to respond - TWICE - and posting the picture. That was the bit that provided the clue

Cheers and thanks from New Zealand

Thanks for getting back to me Gary. I can do that for Transitions, i.e. the effect BETWEEN slides, but those sliders / buttons arenʻt there when you select an object on the slide and go to the Animate button (and select Build in, Action or Build Out!) which I would call an animation???
