One-word text emphasis
Using Powerpoint 2003.
I would like to bring in a sentence and then, after the unformatted sentence has appeared on-screen, change the color of just one word. I have tried to use the "Emphasis" animations that do this, but they change the formatting of the entire sentence, not just one word. Any way to do that? |

You will need remove that word from the sentence, then put it on an
additional textbox to make it works. Alternately, you might want to check out the Cloze Test to see if it works for you: http://www.technologytrish.co.uk/ppttipscloze.html -- Shawn Toh (tohlz) Microsoft MVP PowerPoint Site Updated: Dec 24, 2006 PowerPoint Anime - Rewrite http://pptheaven.mvps.org PowerPoint Heaven - The Power to Animate "bjmyers" wrote: Using Powerpoint 2003.

One-word text emphasis
The only way I can see is to have two identical sentences (except for the
emphasis colour) and have one fade out and one fade out -- Amazing PPT Hints, Tips and Tutorials-http://www.PPTAlchemy.co.uk http://www.technologytrish.co.uk/ppttipshome.html email john AT technologytrish.co.uk "bjmyers" wrote: Using Powerpoint 2003.

You mean one fades in while the other fades out?

One-word text emphasis
You have to be careful with this, though.
One time I wanted just one word in a sentence to be emphasized with a color change, and then the rest of the sentence to disappear. So I typed the sentence (white font), copied it, deleted all the extra words so I only had the emphasized word left, and changed it to a yellow font. (So I had a white sentence and one yellow word in a separate textbox.) When I overlaid that yellow word on the white sentence, it didn't line up. This was in PPT 2003, by the way. Apparently PPT does a little spacing on its own, depending on the text in the whole textbox. So the textbox with just one word was spaced a little differently than that same word in a textbox with additional text. Just figured I'd mention this to save others the type of head-banging I went thru. -- Echo [MS PPT MVP] http://www.echosvoice.com What's new in PPT 2007? http://www.echosvoice.com/2007.htm Fixing PowerPoint Annoyances http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/powerpointannoy/ "John Wilson" john AT technologytrish.co DOT uk wrote in message ...

I got that too Echo even when I aligned at 400%. That's why I faded the whole
sentence which makes it a bit less obvious. -- Amazing PPT Hints, Tips and Tutorials-http://www.PPTAlchemy.co.uk http://www.technologytrish.co.uk/ppttipshome.html email john AT technologytrish.co.uk "Echo S" wrote: You have to be careful with this, though.

Yeah, I got confirmation that it's a PPT issue (or "feature, depending how
you look at it!), not anything we as users are doing. Fading would definitely be a help in some situations. (Unfortunately, it wasn't quite what I needed, but that's a different story. g) -- Echo [MS PPT MVP] http://www.echosvoice.com What's new in PPT 2007? http://www.echosvoice.com/2007.htm Fixing PowerPoint Annoyances http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/powerpointannoy/ "John Wilson" john AT technologytrish.co DOT uk wrote in message ...
