expression.EntryEffect

expression    Required. An expression that returns one of the objects in the Applies To list.

Remarks

If the TextLevelEffect property for the specified shape is set to ppAnimateLevelNone (the default value) or the Animate property is set to False, you won't see the special effect you've applied with the EntryEffect property.

Example

This example adds a title slide to the active presentation and sets the title to fly in from the right whenever it's animated during a slide show.

With ActivePresentation.Slides.Add(1, ppLayoutTitleOnly).Shapes(1)
        .TextFrame.TextRange.Text = "Sample title"
    With .AnimationSettings
        .TextLevelEffect = ppAnimateByAllLevels
        .EntryEffect = ppEffectFlyFromRight
        .Animate = True
    End With
End With
