Where is the 'shutter' or 'curtain' tool on Microsoft Word?

I was shown a 'curtain' or shutter facility on Microsoft Word. You can cover
a page of text and slowly pull the 'curtain' or shutter down the page - it's
great in the classroom.
 
You could simulate that with a Split Window -- have the lower one show
a blank page at the end of the document and the upper one the text you
want to be seen. (The control for splitting a window is the horizontal
line above the Vertical Scroll Bar at the right -- click and drag to
split the window, set the two views, and drag the split almost back to
the top.)

But it seems more like a PowerPoint thing than a Word thing.
 
Actually, it sounds more like a SmartBoard kind of thing.

Is that in Office somewhere, or a different app entirely?

A friend of mine last year devoted so much time to putting cute
transitions into his PowerPoint that he ran out of time in which to
cut his talk down from an hour's popular lecture to an 18-minute
scholarly presentation, and never did get to his main point -- which
would have caused quite a stir if he'd presented it.
