I have a powerpoint 2013 slide with tens of objects that I want to animate. I have used the selection pane to give each of the objects a meaningful name to make it easier to order them properly. But I don't seem to be able to show more than the first few letters in the custom animation pane and this makes the naming pretty useless. The column for the animation name seems to stuck to a very narrow width.
Is there a way of making the object name column of the animation pane wider to show the full name of the object?

While you won't be able to see the full object name in the animation pane, you can go to the "Selection Pane" which, to my experience, does not have the same number of limitations. As described on this StackOverflow page, you need to first select an object in order to make the "Drawing Tools" (Format pane) available. In the "Arrange" section, there's a small button called "Selection Pane".
