Powerpoint Presentation

Could someone help me out. How do you make points in a presentation appear
one point at a time but with me in control so I can talk between points...
ie: Anger (blah blah blah) Point One (blah blah blah blah) Point two (blah)
point three etc....

Thanks
John

Select your object, right-click it and select "Custom Animation". Select
the desired effect you want (I usually use the "Dissolve" one). Click the
dropdown arrow for that item in the Custom Animation TaskPane and click
"Effect Options". Click the "Text Animation" TAB and change the animation
to the desired level of paragraphs you have for that bulleted textbox.

Holler back if this doesn't make sense! This assumes you have PowerPoint
2002 or 2003. It is always a good idea to provide the version you have
since these steps differ.

Hi Bill
Thanks but it didn't solve the problem... The edition is 2003... following
your steps it disolves in all the text but all at once or one at time but
right after each other... Also I have such a large presentation if I had to
do that for every line of text I would have no time....

I need to have:
Anger Management appear..... talk to the audience, click a mouse and have
bulleted text appear one line at a time but stopping after each line until I
am finished discussing that point....

Any pointers...

Thanks
John

You need to set the animation to appear on "Click" instead of "After
previous". If you want different settings for the same bulleted text box
(some on click and some timed), click the double arrow to the left of the
item in the TaskPane to expand the list. There you can click individual
items and set them differently.

Also, if you have a clean presentation and set this setting in "View",
"Master", "Slide Master" it will update a clean presentation. Where you
will run into problems is if you have manually changes a variety of slides,
those slides do not take on the settings of the Slide Master.

Holler back if this doesn't work or make sense!
