There are three ways to animate the text as follows:
- Animate as Whole Object - Animates the entire content of the text box as a single unit. Whenever you animate text, this option occurs by default.
- Animate all Paragraphs At Once - Animates all the paragraphs or bullet lists in one go.
- Animate one Paragraph at a Time - Animates each paragraph or bullet list separately.
Animate as a Whole Object
- Select The Whole Object. You will see that the entire content in the text box gets a single Animation Number and animates as one single unit.
Animate all Paragraphs At Once
- Select 'All Paragraphs At Once' from Animate dropdown. You will see that all the paragraphs and bullets get the same Animation Number. Animations with equal numbers will be animated simultaneously.
You can see the same Animation Number by clicking the arrow next to the effect on the Animate pane. This expands the effect and allows you to set the duration and direction for individual effects. - Sequence of animation either by word or by letter as follows:
- Animate text by Word - Click By Word to animate text one word at
a time.
- Animate text by Letter - Click By Letter to animate text one letter at a time.
Animate One Paragraph at a Time
- Select 'One Paragraph at a Time' from Animate dropdown. You will see each paragraph and bullet list gets a different Animation Number such as 1, 2, etc. Animations plays one after the other as per the number sequence.
- Click the arrow next to the effect in the Animate mode to expand the content and see that the text is labeled with multiple numbers on the slide. From here you can set the duration and direction for the individual effect. Sequence the animation either by word, by letter, or by level as follows:
Animate text by level - This animates the text bullet by bullet or paragraph by paragraph. You can choose till which paragraph level you want to animate your text.
For example, if you have 4 paragraphs or bullet lists with nested levels from 1 to 5, and, if you set text animation By 2nd Level, the 1st and 2nd level will be animatedin a sequence. The rest of the bullets (the 3rd, 4th, and 5th levels) will
be animated all at once.
Each level indicates the following:
- Level 1: This animates text by 1st level paragraphs or bullet list.
- Level 2: This animates text by the 1st level and 2nd level in a sequence while the rest of the levels will be animated at once.This works
only if you have2nd level paragraphs or bullet levels in your selected text.- Level 3: This animates text through 1st level until 3rd level in a sequence.
- Level 4: This animates text through 1st level until 4th level in a sequence.
- Level 5: This animates text through 1st level until 5th level in a sequence.
