Example
This example creates a text effect for the first shape on the first slide in the active presentation, and animates the text in the shape separately from the background. This example assumes there is a shape on the first slide, and that the shape has text inside of it.
Sub AnimateText()
Dim timeMain As TimeLine
Dim shpActive As Shape
Set shpActive = ActivePresentation.Slides(1).Shapes(1)
Set timeMain = ActivePresentation.Slides(1).TimeLine
' Add a blast effect to the text, and animate the text separately
' from the background.
timeMain.MainSequence.ConvertToAnimateBackground _
Effect:=timeMain.MainSequence.AddEffect(Shape:=shpActive, _
effectid:=msoAnimEffectBlast), _
AnimateBackGround:=msoFalse
End Sub
