(Powerpoint 2003)

I have a sequence of bullet points which are appearing on click one by one,
as follows:

Main Bullet (1)
Sub Bullet (2)
Sub Bullet (3)
Sub Bullet (4)
Main Bullet (5)
Main Bullet (6)

After animation I want to change font color to grey when the next bullet
appears, which I can do using Effect Options.

The problem I have is that I want to have main bullet 1, then sub bullets
2-4 appear in sequence, then have all four of those change to grey
simultaneously when main bullet 5 is animated. I seem only to be able to
change to grey one by one.
 
While you are both correct that this can't be done with Effect Options, it
can be easily done with emphasis animations. I have a screen recording that
might help. This technique will work in any version of PPT newer than 2002.
