Animate single word

[eric g]

Am I correct that it is impossible to animate a single
word in a text box. I have a paragraph of text and would
like to have certain words underlined on a mouse click. I
assume I could float another text box over the word but
was looking for something more straight forward.

Can I play a Swish movie in a slide?

You'd have to float another text box over the word.

As for Swish movies, yes, you can play SWF files in PPT. See
http://www.flashgeek.com for instructions.

Your easiest bet is probably animating a separate text box, but what you want to do is also possible with VBA. I have some examples that change text color on my web site (look for the examples at the end of chapter 6 after clicking on Examples by Chapter). Changing style to underline is very similar
