MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / August 2006"Change Font Style" Emphasis Custom Animation in PPT 2003
I'm making a multiple-choice quiz via powerpoint, and wanted to bold and underline the answers as the last animation on each slide. If I add a "Change Font Style" effect as underline, everything works fine. However, when I add in a Bold style, the bullet I animate will move, often on top of other text, making it unreadable. Is this just a bug? Anyone else have the same issue or a work-around? Joe From your description, I'm guessing that the 'bullet' itself is also being made 'bold' hence the shift. Is that what you are seeing? Got any screengrabs to illustrate what you see?

One workaround would be to go to format > bullets and numbering and choose a picture bullet (one of the very simple shapes).

On a slide (not talking animation here), bold formatting is applied to the bullet when bold formatting is applied to the first text character following the bullet. (I know, I hate it, too.) One workaround that is used to overcome this is to add a space between the bullet and the first text character. I don't know if the emphasis animation will "respect" this workaround or not, but it's worth a try.

I used to use this workaround too. However, there is a problem with it: If your text wraps to a second line, the bullet will disappear when the slide is played. Not a problem if your text stays all on one line, but if it expands when you do the bold emphasis, it looks weird (yeah that's the word - weird).

Hey all... John, I have a) b) c) d) set as my bullets instead of actual bullets, since it is a multiple-choice test, so that option won't apply. I attempted to try the other solutions, however when I animate it, the bullet is still bolded even though there is a space before the first word. I may be SOL on this one...

Actually you could easily make a), b) etc picture bullets! then use the import button in the picture bullets dialogue Did that answer the question / help? _____________________________ John Wilson Microsoft Certified Office Specialist http://www.technologytrish.co.uk/ppttipshome.html > Hey all... > [quoted text clipped - 39 lines] > > > > the > > > > same issue or a work-around?
