Add animation to text range using VBA. Is it possible??

[Marcel.van.der.Laan]

Hello there,

I've been trying to figure something out that is possible to do by
hand, but seems impossible by VBA. Let me explain...

You can add a custom animation to a selection in a TextFrame, to grow/
shrink the text, for example.
You can see all the details in the
ActivePresentation.Slides(slideNmbr).TimeLine.MainSequence object
indicating the subrange (TextRangeStart and TextRangeLength).

BUT, I cannot seem to figure out how to do this via VBA. The
MainSequence.AddEffect requires a Shape to add the effect to. But I
want to add an effect to a textrange...

Anybody any clues how I can do this?

Thanks,
Marcel

I should of course mention that I'm referring to PowerPoint 2003

Thanks
