MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / June 2007Animation in Power Point
How do I animate a word so that one letter will apear with a click? or I can set the timeing so there is a delay between each letter? Office 2003 Power Point 2003 Hi Allison To animate letter by letter using clicks you would have to put all the letters in their own text boxes and add animation. This isn't as bad as it sounds if you use a few tricks: ctrl+d to copy/paste the 1st text box, f2 to edit text in text box, alignment buttons & distribute evenly buttons to make them all neat & tidy. To get the alignment & distribute evenly buttons: Tools -> customise -> commands -> drawing -> find them in the list & drag them on to your drawing toolbar. I love them & use them constantly! Or you can add delay timing between the letters: 1. Right click text box/ placeholder -> custom animation 2. Add effect -> entrance -> select what you would like e.g. appear 3. Click on drop down arrow next to animation -> effect options -> nnimate text -> by letter 4. A new bit appears in the dialogue box allowing you to change delay between letters (exactly what you get here depends on what animation you chose) Post back if you have more questions.

Office 2003 Power > Point 2003 Thank you very much, this is what a co-teacher friend of mine said who teachers computers at the high school level, I was hoping there was an easier way. You answered the main question I was wondering and that was how to make them look even. I really appreciate the assistance very much. > Hi Allison > [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > > set the timeing so there is a delay between each letter?

I love the extra buttons on my drawing toolbar - make sure you pick up 'realative to slide' too as then you can align top/bottom/right/left/middle/centre with elements on the page OR the whole page. Same goes for distribute evenly. Other buttons I have - select multiple shapes, all the send backward/forward ones, grouping ones, shadow & 3-d (they may have been there already...). Basically have a look around the commands in tools->customise for all your programmes :-) Lucy SignatureMOS Master Instructor www.aneasiertomorrow.com.au If this post answered your question please let us know as others may be interested too > Thank you very much, this is what a co-teacher friend of mine said who > teachers computers at the high school level, I was hoping there was an easier [quoted text clipped - 27 lines] > > > set the timeing so there is a delay between each letter?

I created a sererate text box as well. I do the ppt for my pastor every Sunday of his sermon and he wanted each letter to come one at a time to make a point for each letter, and I cannot figure it out. Thanks > How do I animate a word so that one letter will apear with a click? or I can > set the timeing so there is a delay between each letter? Office 2003 Power > Point 2003 Hmmmm. Are you sure you are changing to 'animate text by letter' in the effect tab and NOT on the text animation tab where it only allows paragraph levels? Because any normal person would look in the text animation tab, but that isn't where microsoft decided to put the 'by letter' option... Also try using the 'appear' entrance animation as that definitely works (it may be one of those things that doesn't work on all animations). If you are still having trouble then I can send you a sample - either write to me via my website or post your e-mail up here but a bit mangled (e.g. write 'at' not @) to stop you getting spam.
