My boyfriend want to create a title slide where the individual letters that
comprise the title appear to fall out of the sky and land in their
appropriate positions. How can this be done? He has seen it before in
another person's Powerpoint presentation. He is using Powerpoint 2003.
Thanks for any help provided.
 
I have ppt 2007 and there is a custom animation that you can use to make the
letters "fall out of the sky." However, I've never used 2003 and I don't
know if the two programs are similar in any way... If they are, you just go
to the Animations tab, click "custom animation", highlight the word you want
to "fall", and on the right there should be a new tab that says "custom
animation" at the top. Click on "add effect", then "entrance", then "more
effects" and it will give you a plethora of choices.

If 2003 and 2007 are nothing alike, then I guess I don't know. sorry!
 
geminidreamer,
Select the textbox, then click Slide Show > Custom Animation.
Click Add Effect > Entrance > Fly In.
Double click on the added effect.
Set the direction to From Top.
Set the Animate text to By Letter.
Ok your way out.
See if that is what you want.

Same type thing, slightly better effect. It is named stupidly, but try the
"Swish" entrance effect.
