power point 2008

Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) Processor: Intel The script shows dimly on an animated slide then you click and it shows brightly. How do i eliminate the dimly script and it appears without a seeing it first? Is there a global setting to eliminate this effect. I don't want people to see what is coming.

There are 2 main possibilities here -- the first is that it is just a matter
of which Custom Animation effect (probably in the Entrance category). If
that's the case you simply need to change the settings for that effect or
apply a different one.

The additional possibility is due to a bug that is evident if the
Placeholder that text is in has a Shadow applied to it (the shape itself).
Steve Rindsberg supplied this solution a few weeks ago:

*****************************
Select the text shape
Remove the shape shadow from it by assigning it no shadow.

Then select the *text* in the shape.
Assign the text a text shadow.

Now you have shadowed text that works as expected.
