How to use Powerpoint text animation - how to animate text in PowerPoint 2007 2010 2013 2016

[Music] next I want to show you how to do animation on text with text we can make the lines come in one at a time when you have a text box like this see how we have a text box with the bullets we can make the bullets come in one line at a time so what I'm going to do is I pick on the text box pick on animations and then custom animation you can see how this window opens on the side I want to say add effect now an entrance means how is it going to come into the slide an emphas means how is it going to leave the slide an exit or an emphas means once it's on the slide maybe we can um enhance it exit means how is it going to leave the slide and motion path would be how it would move across the slide in this case I'm going to say entrance and then a really popular one with a text is called fly in but any one of these other ones would work as well notice how when I pick on Flyin the text kind of comes in one on at a time now what you can do is change that you can change the direction from left or right or top or bottom or any of the other ones I kind of like it coming in from the top it kind of drops in like that and then we can change the speed maybe I'll make it fast okay so all we're doing is we're adding animation to our text box now let's go ahead and run the slideshow over here and notice how the text is not coming in usually for these I like to have it on manual mode so I'm going to click on my mouse and notice how the first line comes in I'm going to click on the mouse and then the next line comes in I'm clicking again so this way you can add uh uh add your perfect timing into the uh into the presentation and bring these in as you want it to but you can see it's a really great effect now this slide doesn't have text animation but I'm going to hit the up Arrow key on my keyboard and let's go back to this one again I want to uh just click and just watch the text drop right in there it's a really nice effect it it's just adding text animations so what you do is you're going to click in your text box you say animations custom animation on this screen what I like to do is uh pick on usually an entrance and you can try some of those out but a lot of times people use float or fly in when you picked on fly in then we can make it come from the top or the bottom or make it go fast or very fast and that's or the different speeds of course and that's how you can add animation to your text objects
