Using PP XP I'm trying to create a slide that will show a
date and time like it's in a dream. In other words it
would look all "wavy" as it came into focus.
Another effect would work, but this is what I had in
mind. Are there some sources for downloading new/more
animation effects for fonts? I can't seem to find
anything but pictures to download.
Thanks for any help.

Hi Ed,

You can use a custom motion path. This article will show you how:

[CRITICAL UPDATE - Anyone using Office 2003 should install the critical
update as soon as possible. From PowerPoint, choose "Help -> Check for
Updates".]

Hello,

PowerPoint does not have the specific animation effect that you are looking
for. Neither does PowerPoint have the ability to "install" additional
effects.

If you (or anyone else reading this message) feel strongly that PowerPoint
should have a specific animation effect, or be able to create a specific
effect by combining others and without having to resort to VBA or add-ins,
or be able to extend the built-in effects by downloading additional sets of
effects, etc... don't forget to send your feedback (in YOUR OWN WORDS,
please) to Microsoft at:

http://register.microsoft.com/mswish/suggestion.asp

It's VERY important that, for EACH wish, you describe in detail, WHY it is
important TO YOU that your product suggestion be implemented. A good wish
submssion includes WHAT scenario, work-flow, or end-result is blocked by
not having a specific feature, HOW MUCH time and effort ($$$) is spent
working around a specific limitation of the current product, etc. Remember
that Microsoft receives THOUSANDS of product suggestions every day and we
read each one but, in any given product development cycle, there are ONLY
sufficient resources to address the ones that are MOST IMPORTANT to our
customers so take the extra time to state your case as CLEARLY and
COMPLETELY as possible so that we can FEEL YOUR PAIN.

IMPORTANT: Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of
suggestions).
