MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / January 2007PPT2007 - Shadow problem
Thought I'd resist temptation and wait 'till now to try it. New slide no place holders. Insert text box and type a simple word. Apply shape effect - shadow. Custom animation - fly in - on click. Run show and it does what you'd expect. Change the animation effect to animate text - by letter. Run show and it puts the shadow on the slide before you click for the animation. How do you get the text to animate by letter WITH its shadow so as not to give the game away with a slide full of shadows before the text appears. Running on VPC2007, XPPro, Office2007 Trial (downloaded yesterday), Nothing else. So failed at the first hurdle, can't wait to delve deeper.  SignatureDave Dave, I got it. Horrible! It seems based on the "Outer Edge" effect. I'll pass it on and see what happens.

Thanks Glen, I'm surprised that one got through to release. I know I should start another thread but do you happen to know what the "advanced features" are when you run PPT with the Vista Ultimate OS? >Dave, > >I got it. Horrible!

I guess a shape effect is tied to the shape and as such, it wont animate with the text (which is text <g>). I tried this and it will animate the shadow by letter. As for Vista, I guess they might mean the graphics. I dunno as I have a fairly new laptop and yet there are no supporting updates to support the new features. That is at the Dell end, not Microsoft.

I WILL find a use for the other shadow effect sometime in the future, no doubt! I just wish they would get some slide transitions like "keynote" - I was hoping they were the "advanced features", oh well, roll on PPT2009. :-) >Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] >fairly new laptop and yet there are no supporting updates to support >the new features.
