Good day everybody,

I use Powerpoint 2000. I would like to know how do I make my text blinking(flashing)?
I had looked at Entry animation and sound and Introduce text but couldn't figure out how to do it.

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance and have a nice day.

Regards,
Julie
 
In PowerPoint 2000, the blinking effect has to be 'faked'. You can create a
series of identical items (alternately shape and cover box), that appear one
after another.

True, so she could 'Special Paste' the selection from a MS Word document
into PowerPoint. This would depend on having both PowerPoint and Word
installed on both the design and presentation computers. Usually it's
pretty much a given, but not assured. It would be easier, but slightly more
risky.

Another good reason to use PPT for presentations instead of Word.

BTW, Word's support for blinking text is pathetic. I've never *once* gotten it
to work on any of my printers. It prints, but it just sits there lifelessly on
the page. Tsk.
 
You have to flip the paper over and back real fast to get MS Word's blinking
text effect.
