how do i animate ONLY ONE sentence in a paragraph/bullet?
in a presentation, i would like to add an entrance (dissolve, for example) so
that sentences come in one at a time with a click. i don't mean where you select effect options and choose for the words to come in one at a time, but rather i decide when various sentences of the same paragraph/bullet come in with a click. thank you. |

how do i animate ONLY ONE sentence in a paragraph/bullet?
If it's truly part of the same bullet, you can't really do what you want.
However, there are "grouping" options on the custom animation Effect Options dialog (right-click the animation in the task pane to get to these) that let you bring in "levels" of bullets. You might be able to use this to fake what you want. Also, you can expand the animations in PPT 2002/2003, and then you can remove the unnecessary animations from the appropriate sentences. But they would need to be their own bullet level. http://www.echosvoice.com/individual...extAnimat ion should get you started with that. -- 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/ "1atAtime" wrote in message ... in a presentation, i would like to add an entrance (dissolve, for example) so that sentences come in one at a time with a click. i don't mean where you select effect options and choose for the words to come in one at a time, but rather i decide when various sentences of the same paragraph/bullet come in with a click. thank you. |

how do i animate ONLY ONE sentence in a paragraph/bullet?
thank you for your help. you'd think that you could animate one sentence at a
time in a paragraph/bullet in powerpoint, but i guess it's just something to hope for in the next upgrade... "Echo S" wrote: If it's truly part of the same bullet, you can't really do what you want.

You can do bullet-by-bullet animation. But sentence-by-sentence animation
just isn't something PPT does. PPT 2007 won't, either. I suspect that's because PPT doesn't really "do" sentences the way, say, Word does. You never know, though -- maybe in the version after 2007.... -- 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/ "1atAtime" wrote in message ... thank you for your help. you'd think that you could animate one sentence at a time in a paragraph/bullet in powerpoint, but i guess it's just something to hope for in the next upgrade...

With a two sentence bullet you may be able to adapt this method.
