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
