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?

For upcoming training course dates see: Pricing & availability

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:

Another way to reduce PowerPoint file sizes

A very quick and easy way to reduce the size of a PowerPoint file (particularly if it contains many images and/or objects) make the first slide in the presentation a blank slide (using slide layouts).

Why does this work? Because when you go to open the file through PowerPoint (File - Open or by using the Open button), the preview image that PowerPoint sees of that file is of a blank slide so the overall file size is reduced.
