[impress] copying animations to multiple objects

Continuing the discussion from How to assign animation to multiple objects with delay in Impress:

@Lii

An ugly work around is to manually hack the .odp file.

1. Open the file with some kind of archive management program.
2. Extract contents.xml.
3. Open in in a file editor. It better be one which can format XML files, since all text in the file is on the same line.
4. Find the relevant anim:par element.
5. Set smil:begin="1s" on the relevant elements.
6. Save the file.
7. Put the file back into the .odp file.

5. Set smil:begin="1s" on the relevant elements.

how do you identify the “relevant elements”? To me nothing seems to be identifiable.
