Animating Only Part of a Single Object in Powerpoint 2010

Is there a way to animate only a part of an object. For instance, how is a hand of a clock animated?

The clock face would need to be one object and the hand would need to be a separate object.
... or the animation I suppose could be an animated GIF, SWF

see http://community.articulate.com/forums/t/21017.aspx for some examples

That's a cool animated clock but is it possible to achieve this only using PP2010 animation facilities? Also, is it possible the clock hand to shrink and extend as it turns.

I got it. However, it makes full circle. Can it be made to only cover an arc (rotate only for a part of the whole circle)?
Yes, you just type in a different amount in the spin options, or there are options for quarter spin and half spin that you can select. Open the animation pane and double-click the spin animation in the animation pane after it's been applied to an object, then you'll have access to those options.
