alexanderd,
In the custom animation taskpane, click on the arrow next to size; next to
custom click in the box delete the value and type the % value you want and
press enter.
Does that work for you?

Default "grow / shrink"

The crucial (and not very obvious) step is to press the enter key after
changing the value (not just click to close)

further to my request for help this is part of a project in which there are
some 12 photographs on a page. Each in turn goes to the centre of the page
and grows in size (thank you for your help on that), whilst the first picture
is on top all the remaining pictures when expanded and moved to the centre
are underneath the first one.
how or what must i do so that each picture come to the front as it is clicked.

I've got this one.
First answer isn't in the animations. The answer is to stack your pictures
(using bring forward and send backwards) in the order you will be showing
them.

Second answer is to give each picture an exit animation as well as the
entrance animation. Select all the pictures, give them an exit animation of
disappear or fade. Then drag the animations up the timeline to just after
the appear of the next one.If the new picture is on top, the exit will
happen without being seen. If the new picture is underneath the current one,
then the current one will exit and the new one will show. If you really want
to get tricky, you can set the timing on the exits so that each picture goes
away while the new one is growing in. (check out the delay options for your
animations to make this happen.)
