Powerpoint presentation has a series of text boxes containing case files. I
want to be able to randomly click on a box and have the contents enlarge to a
bigger font. I want it to remain large until I click on another text box
(with enlarged text) at which time the font from the first box will go back
to it's original size.

Please help.
 
Jean-Pierre: Thanks very much for your response. I did use a trigger for
each text box. However, I was trying to avoid having to click a second time
on the text box to reduce to original size before clicking on another text
box. Any help would greatly be appreciated. I just may have to click 2
times before opening clicking on another text box.

I think you have to use Triggered animations

Lets say what you want is to click on textbox A to enlarge it. Clicking on
textbox B will enlarge B but shrink A back to original size.

To do so, add two trigger animations. One to enlarge A, the other to enlarge
B.
Now, add a shrink effect that will reduce A back to original size.
Under the custom animation task pane, select the added shrink effect and
drag it under the enlarge B trigger animation. Set it to start With Previous.
Do the same for textbox B.
