Example

This example creates a shape with text on a slide and adds a random animation to the shape, ensuring the shape's text animates in reverse.

Sub AnimateInReverse()

    Dim sldActive As Slide
    Dim timeMain As TimeLine
    Dim shpRect As Shape

    ' Create a slide, add a rectangular shape to the slide, and
    ' access the slide's animation timeline.
    With ActivePresentation
        Set sldActive = .Slides.Add(Index:=1, Layout:=ppLayoutBlank)
        Set shpRect = sldActive.Shapes.AddShape(Type:=msoShapeRectangle, _
            Left:=100, Top:=100, Width:=300, Height:=150)
        Set timeMain = sldActive.TimeLine
    End With

    shpRect.TextFrame.TextRange.Text = "This is a rectangle."

    ' Add a random animation effect to the rectangle,
    ' and animate the text in reverse.
    With timeMain.MainSequence
        .ConvertToAnimateInReverse _
            Effect:=.AddEffect(Shape:=shpRect, effectId:=msoAnimEffectRandom), _
            AnimateInReverse:=msoTrue
    End With

End Sub
