Most slide shows will include multiple animations per slide. You can always manipulate which of the animations appear first on the slide by changing the order in which they are listed in the "Custom Animation" dialog box shown below.
In this instance there are four different animations, three pictures and one text box. You will decide what the initial order of the animations will be by clicking on the individual animations in the "Check to animate slide objects" box. For our purposes we clicked on the pictures in descending order and then on the text box. If we were to click on the text box first then on the pictures in ascending order the "Animation Order" box would be exactly opposite.
You may decide that they want to change the order of the animations but realize that unclicking and reclicking all of the animations will get tiring and wasteful. If this is the case you may simply click on the animation you want to manipulate in the "Animation Order" box and click on the up or down arrow to the right. This will change the order in which the animation appears in the slide show on this particular slide.
If we were to highlight the animation "Text 4" and click the up arrow three times it would look like this:
