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:

Rearrange bulleted text quickly

Here are some handy shortcut keys for rearranging bullet points on your slides.

Simply click anywhere within the bullet point you wish to reposition; then hold down Shift + Alt then use the Arrow Up or Arrow Down key depending on which direction you want to move the bullet point in (up or down).

The bullet point will move up or down one bullet point at a time.
