MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / August 2005I need to replace text after animating it
I'm doing a presentation where you ask a question with blanks( such as you are a G__ _ _ _ P _ _ _ _ _!) When I click it to animate it I would like the text to change to You are a Great Person! How do I do this?!?!?! Thanks in advance.... What version of PowerPoint are you using? In 2002 or 2003, you could use entry and exit animations to have one set of text leave while the other comes in. If you really want to change the text (even though animation can be made to look like the text is changing), you will have to use VBA. --David  SignatureDavid M.

If you have already inserted the text "G_ _ _ _ P _ _ _ _ _", add one text box and enter "REAT", and make another textbox, entering "ERSON". Drag these two textbox over the "G_ _ _ _ P _ _ _ _ _", so that it "REAT" and "ERSON" looks as if they are underlined. Select these two textbox and add an entrace effect (fade). Now there should be two textbox animated. Under the Custom Animation, the first animation should be an On Click setting, while the second one is "With Previous".

Blatant ad for my services coming... I have a sample presentation available for this situation (works in PPT 2002 and later). The presentation shows you how to do this with the animation timeline and with triggers. It is available by email for a very small fee.
