shadow of text visible before text enters

[Guest]

Hello all,

I have an issue with ppt '07 with regards to animating content.

I have built master slides where the text in the "text" placeholder enters
through faded zoom. My text is white with a slight shadow. My problem is that
the shadow for my text is visible at all times.

Admittedly, I probably have too much going on for this all to work, but has
anyone else seen the shadow of the text visible at all times before. Any
ideas on how to fix this?

Any help would be appreciated,
Mike.

Try using the Text shadow instead of shape shadow. To do so,
Enter Slide Master.
Double click on the text placeholder.
Now, select Shape Effects > Shadow > No Shadow.
Select the Text Effect under WordArt Styles.
Set the shadow from the Text Effect instead.
See if it works this time round.
