Remove slide animation from body text

[Robert Mark Bram]

Howdy All!

I am using Microsoft PowerPoint 2002. I have the master slide of my
presentation set up so that body text "peeks in from left" one paragraph at
a time.

I have a slide with only one paragraph and I want the slide to have *no*
animation - but it inherits the peek animation from the master...

In PowerPoint 2000 I could still go
Slide Show | Custom Animation
and remove the text effect.

But in PowerPoint 2002 I see no way to do this - the text pane does not show
up in the Customer Animation bar as an element with animation, despite the
fact that it has animation!

What can I do?

Any advice would be much appreciated!

Thanks for the reply Brian!

If you copy and paste another copy of the text placeholder on that
particular page, it becomes a regular textbox not attached to the
Master. Then delete the original placeholder on that page and change
the animation settings on the new textbox.

It works and I can write a macro for that!
