Animated text problem

I can't control animation schemes applied to text in a title & bulleted text
boxes below the title. I'm using 'Fade in one by one"
Sometimes it animated the title only & sometimes only the bulleted text on
other similar slides.

It doesn't seem to matter how I apply the animation to the text,
individually select, group select or select nothing
& just click the animation box. Also applyoing No animation sometimes does
not kill the text animation & I have to delete it & redo the text.

What's the trick to making one text box animate & not the title text & vice
versa?

Well, an animation scheme applies to all slides in a file. If you applied an
animation scheme to a presentation, you'll have to move the animation from
the master to the slide before you can alter it.

Change animation effect for just a few slides out of a presentation

If that doesn't sort it for you, holler back.
 
Are all of your titles and text boxes placeholders? Or are they inserted
text boxes? Animation schemes only apply to placeholders, not to regular
text boxes or autoshapes.....

Ok - too early for Kathy to be posting, obviously... I read the question
backwards. I thought you were having problems getting the animation scheme
to apply, when you are having problems getting it to not apply. So take my
advice and reverse it - if you have text that you don't want the animation
scheme to apply to, put it in an autoshape or a text box. (Or apply the
master animations to the slide as Echo recommended.)
