Animating Text

You can animate text on your slides so that you can focus on important points, control the flow of information, and add interest to your presentation.

• Select the text that you want to animate.
  
• On the Slide Show menu, click Custom Animation, or open the Custom Animation task pane from the View menu.
  
• Click the Add Effect drop-down list, point to the type of animation you want to apply (Entrance, Emphasis, Exit, or Motion Paths), and then click the type of animation you want to apply.
  

A preview of the animation will appear in the main slide window. You can change the current animation type, add a new animation, or remove the animation by using the options in the Custom Animation task pane.
