Easiest thing to do is to right click on the text box and choose Custom
Animation. Then choose an entrance effect of Fly in From Right. Is there
more to your question? Since you asked it in the subject area, most of it
got cut off.

Yes. Thank you for replying. I'm a novice .ppt user but say you have 4
bullets
on one slide can you fly them in individually?

Again, thanks for your help.

It should do that by default. However, after you set the animation, you
should see a pane on the right side of your screen. In the bottom half of
the pane, you should see the text box listed (and anything else listed if
you have set other things to be animated). Click on the listing for the
text box, and you should see a little arrow (really it's a triangle) to
the right of the listing. Click on the arrow to get a menu. Choose Effect
Options from the menu. Click on the Text Animation tab. From there you
cna Group text in various ways. You probably want to choose "By 1st level
Paragraphs," but you can play with that until you get the effect you
want.
