Captions for slides - labor intensive
I'm working on a slide program with 90+ slides. I want to place a caption on
each one, using a text box along with a Custom Animation for each caption. The animation will simply be a fade in. I find that I have to create a text box, then set the font, size, bolding, then go to Drawing Tools to set a special text fill and text outline colors. Then I have to go to Animations, select Custom Animation, then go to the Custom Animation pane to select Add Effect, select Add Effect, select Entrance, select Fade, then tell it when to start (After last), and finally select the speed for the effect. Please tell me I don't have to do that ninety-some-odd times! |

Captions for slides - labor intensive
What Bill said.
Another option is to go to View | Master | Slide Master and position the title placeholder where you want the picture caption. (This is assuming you don't need to use the title placeholders for, well, slide titles! You could also use the text placeholder if you don't need it. Or in PPT 2007, you can add your own custom placeholder.) Anyway, put the placeholder where you want the caption to be and format it appropriately. Add the animation to the placeholder. Go back to Normal View, and this placeholder should be available and say "click to add text" on each slide. -- Echo [MS PPT MVP] http://www.echosvoice.com What's new in PPT 2007? http://www.echosvoice.com/2007.htm Fixing PowerPoint Annoyances http://tinyurl.com/36grcd PowerPoint 2007 Complete Makeover Kit http://tinyurl.com/32a7nx Enter the Create a Spark Presentation Contest here! http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/te...395221033.aspx "Marv Duncan" Marv wrote in message news I'm working on a slide program with 90+ slides.
