I have created a textbox with a sentence that animates word by word and also
repeats several times. The problem is the last several words do not show in
the animation when I play the slide. I have tried changing the timing but
that does not help. Any suggestions?
 
Not realy enough info but after using the Technology Trish "X ray vision" add
in to view your screen this may help

Double click the entry for custom animation and go to the text animation tab

Change the setting in the "group text" box

See if that helps
 
Tried changing the setting and it didn't fix the problem. More info -
The sentence is 9 words long. I want the sentence appear word by word (in a
text box), disappear, then run again several times - Like a student is
reading the sentence over and over again. Is that possible?
 
It might be that the animation is not being given enough time to finish
before the next repeat starts. Try one of these two things:
1) Make the animation run slower. If you right click the animation and
select Timing, you can change the length of the animation to an actual
amount of seconds.
2) Give the animations a slight amount of delay. On the same timing tab, set
the delay to a second. That will tell PPT to wait a beat between repeats.

I had tried that also - including leaving several seconds between each but
the end of the sentence still doesn't appear. There is just a blank until the
next animation starts (and only shows part of the sentence). I know the text
box is big enough. I have tried having them 'start with' and also 'after
previous' (after changing the length of the animation) but I still lose
either the beginning of the sentence or the end of the sentence.
