Revealing lines of text one at a time in each slide

[Guest]

In a presentation, I was wanting to reveal each line of text within a slide in stages - as my argument unfolds, rather than displaying the entire slide at onc
How would I go about accomplishing this
Thanks for any help

Matt,
You want to look into having your text appear by grouping level. It is
located in with the Custom Animations settings. I can give specific
instructions if you tell which version of PowerPoint you are using.

Okay - simple to do, somewhat hidden to access. Bring up the Custom
Animation Pane for the slide in question. Right click on the animation for
the placeholder or the textbox. Select "Effect Options" or "Timing". Click
the Text Animation tab. Set "Group by" to either the number of outline
levels in your paragraphs or one more than that number (just in case you add
a level later). Ok out of the box and you're done.

If you don't want to do this by hand on every slide, you can set up the
animation and the group by on the Slide Master and it will automatically
apply to the placeholder text.

Hope this gets you where you need to be!
