Thanks,
Is there a way to slow down the fade. The text box is gone in a blink of the
eye.

Yes. Change the speed in the custom animation task pane. After you add the
exit effect, select it in the task pane and then click the drop down arrow
next to speed to change to something slower.

Or double-click the exit animation in the list in the task pane and change
the speed on the Timing tab. You can click in the speed box there and type
the number of seconds you want to the animation to take.

thanks so much for the info. When I click play to preview if shows correctly
but when running power point from start it doesn't show. I have the
animation start on mouse click, would this have anything to do with it?
Don't understand why it previews okay but not during presentation.

If it's set to start on mouse click, you have to click the mouse to begin
the exit animation. If you want it to happen automatically, you need to set
it to after previous (in which case it will begin the exit animation after
the previous animation, if there is any, completes) or with previous (in
which case it begins when the previous animation, if any, begins -- and if
there's no previous animation, the exit will begin at the beginning of the
slide).

The preview doesn't make you actually click the mouse -- it just shows you
what it will look like if you were to click.

Mark your text box, go to the toolbox on the right, and choose "perdonalize
effect" than "ad effect" than "go out" (or similar (my ppt is in spanish))
and "fade". You can also set the fade out velocity.
