Steps:
1. Select your text box.
2. Go to Animations tab → Choose an effect (e.g., Appear, Zoom, Fade).
3. Click Effect Options.
4. In the dialog box:
o Choose By Letter or By Word.
o Set a delay (try 0.1s for letters, 0.3s for words).
5. Press F5 (Slide Show) to preview timing in real motion.
Beginner Tip:
Start with short words or phrases. Long paragraphs get painfully slow if every letter has a
delay.
