{{clear}}Animation to text makes the viewer more curious about the topic presenter presenting. As the text comes and goes in an interesting way it also avoids all the text appearing once in a particular slide. On one way it contributes more to the visual appeal of the presentation, on the other side enhances the presenter and viewer's involvement in the presentation. You can have the text come in different speeds, in different ways, this makes it interesting for the viewer by providing visual relief.
# At first, select some portion of text in a particular slide.
# In the "Properties" window, click "Custom animation" that resides on right side of the working window. Alternatively choose "Slide" from Menu Bar and then click on "Custom Animation".
