I'm not sure that you can, other than by duplicating the slide and 
manually editing each copy to include just the animations you want and 
ends looking the same as the next one starts. But if you later 
reposition something on one slide, you'd have to duplicate that change 
on all the other copies where that item is visible.

From the menu, click Slide Show > Custom Animation. Or on the sidebar 
on the right side of the Impress window, click the yellow star ("custom 
animation"). It shows the animations for objects on the selected slide, 
and you can adjust the timing, order, triggers, etc.

The "automatic preview" option there seems to just preview the one 
effect you change, not the entire state of the slide at the time of that 
effect. I usually use Slide Show > Start from Current Slide and just 
click through the various effects to see what they look like and check 
that things happen in the right order. I don't use Impress much though, 
so there may be better ways.

Mark.
