how do you animate a presentation so that the bullet points are animated in turn?

Hi Ruth

Thank you for your question; and welcome to the forum.

You can animate a set of bullet points by doing the following:

1. Click on the box (placeholder) which runs around the outside of the bullet points

2. Go to Slide Show - Custom animation. The Custom Animation task pane opens on the right-hand side of your screen.

3. Click the Add Effect button at the top of the task pane; then choose Entrance and Fly in. You will see a preview of the effect on your slide.

4. You can adjust the direction that the bullet points come in from and also the speed of the animation from the top of the task pane.

5. When you are happy with the animation effect, view the slide show. You will need to click the mouse to bring each of the bullet points in.

I hope this helps.

Amanda
