Question on setting up animation in the master slide.

[terry]

When I set up the animation on the Master slide, the slides are blank until I
click on the mouse. Is there anyway to set up the animation so that there is
text on the first slide and the following text is animated? Thank you.

Hi Terry

AFAIK you would need to change each slide:
1. In the custom animation pane click where it says 'master: body' and
select 'copy effects to slide'
2. Click on the double down arrow to expand the contents
3. Change top animation from 'on click' to 'with previous'

A bit tedious. Another way would be to set up one slide and then copy/paste
(select slide in pane then ctrl+d) then change the text.

An even better way would be not to use bullet points
