Colour change after animation

[Chris Watts]

I have a number of text boxes where the text is black and the bullets are
red.
I set up a custom animation to go Grey "After animation".
Sometimes this results in just the text going grey after animation and the
bullet remaining red. But sometimes both the text and the bullet go grey.

I would like consistancy! But cannot figure out what the difference is in
my settings. Can anybody explain?

I am using PPT97.

TIA
Chris

It might be the difference between a text placeholder and a manual textbox.

Or maybe you have a space or tab between the bullet and the text in some,
but not in others? Worth a look...

Hi.
Have discovered what it is now.
Custom animation changes the colour of both the bullet and the text.
Where only the text had changed, I had manually greyed it - and I need to do
that to the bullet separately.

Thanks
Chris
