Text box

When you have bullet points with text, in order to be able to animate/make the text 'fly in' one at a time, do you have to put your bullet points in seperate texts boxes?

RE: text box

Hi Helen,

Thank you for your question.

When you insert a new slide, you always get a bullet points layout. Insert a title at the top and in the second box type your first piece of text by the first bullet point pressing Enter after each piece of text.

Then select the frame around all the bullet points so the whole box is selected and go to the 'Slide Show' menu and then 'Custom Animation'. A Custom Animation Task Pane opens on the right hand side of the screen.

Select 'Add Effect' and choose 'Entrance'. Select 'More Effects' and choose the animation you want and click OK. You can also change the speed of particular animations as well.

I hope this answers your question.

Regards

Simon

PowerPoint tip:

Animating charts imported from Excel

Once you have imported an Excel chart into a Powerpoint slide, it is possible to apply animation to individual components (e.g. each bar) of the chart.

Click on the imported Excel chart, then go to Draw - Ungroup on the Drawing toolbar (usually located at the bottom of the screen).

A message will appear warning that ungrouping will change the chart into a different type of object - click Yes, then go to Draw - Ungroup again.

You should now see the chart has been broken up into all its individual components.

Right-click on a component that you wish to apply animation to; then select Custom animation and apply animation using the task pane on the right of the screen.
