I am trying to animate individual objects in a SmartArt Graphics group. As far as I can tell, I can only apply one type of animation to the entire group. Does anyone know how to animate different objects in the group differently? For example, one "box" just appears, but the arrow "wipes" from left to right?

In the Custom Animation Palette of the Toolbox the last group of features
for SmartArt Animation contextually appears when you select a SmartArt
Graphic & apply an Animation effect. Open the list of Group Graphic options
& choose your poison. A right-pointing arrow will appear adjacent to the
object in the Animation Order pane. Click it to expand the list of
components, Control/Right-Click one & choose Change Effect.

How do I make each section of the chart represent different percentages.

I am unable to resize the sections of the pie chart, which makes it unusable for me. I need to resize the sections by percents, so that each section represents a different percentage of the whole. Right now each section that is added represents a fraction of the whole - so that if there are 3 sections, then each section is 1/3 or 33.3%, and is there are 4 sections, each section is 1/4, or 25%, and so on.
