Custom Animation

[Guest]

I need to emphasis text on a slide by growing the font and subduing the
remaining font. When I apply the Grow/Shrink animation it squeezes the
letters together vertically (I have applied it both vertically and
horizontally). I have tried to spread the line spacing and that helps, but
is there a better way to have it grow for ease of reading and then go back to
the previous size? I would like to attach what I have to further demonstrate
my question.

You can solve the problem you quiote by adding a with previous shrink to the
other lines so that as line 1 expands they contract. You will still see that
the text quality is pretty poor though.

Here's another approach which sounds a little complex but works a lot better

Assuming that you have several lines of text at say 32 point
Copy and paste a second copy, set the fill to match the background (not
transparent) and chage the font size of the text to zoom to 44 and all other
text to 24

Align this copy with the original and set it to appear on click and then
disapear on click. You can make as many copies as you need

Sounds pretty silly but it can look good!
