Using Specialized Animations

Using specialized animations, you can apply animations specific to certain objects. For example, for a text object, you can introduce the text on your slide all at once or by word or letter. Similarly, you can introduce bulleted lists one bullet item at a time and apply different effects to older items, such as graying out the items as they are replaced by new ones. You can animate charts by introducing chart series or chart categories one at a time.

Animate Text

In Normal view, right-click the selected text object, and then click Custom Animation.

Click Add Effect, and then choose an effect from the list of animation effects.

When you're done, click the Close button on the task pane.
