In good old PPT 97 on which I learnt how to do presentations, I could, from one dialog box, set up that I wanted bullet points to ‘appear’ rather than, well, appear in some other fashion, and set that I wanted them to appear by say 2nd level paragraphs. Now I seem to have to do it a longer way round. I can right click the bullet points and choose the ‘custom animation’ option which gives me the task pane on the right. Then I can click the ‘Add effect’ button, and choose ‘appear’. Then I can right click on the list of bullet points in the task pane and choose ‘effect options’. Then I can selec the ‘text animation’ tab and finally choose ‘by 2nd level paragraphs’.
Am I fooling myself that the old way was quicker? Is there some quicker route to this that I haven’t found?
