Animate a word on a slide in PowerPoint for Mac

Animate a word on a slide in PowerPoint for Mac

You can animate a single word on a slide to emphasize a point. You can apply Shimmer, Wave, or any other emphasis effect to text within a shape, text box, or text placeholder. Most animation effects apply to all text on the slide, so to animate a single word, follow these basic steps:

  1. Insert a shape and add text to it.

  2. Format the text.

  3. Format the shape.

  4. Apply the animation effects you want.

The following example provides details for each of these steps.

  1. On the Home tab, click Shapes > Rectangle, and then click or anywhere on your slide to insert the shape.

  2. Ctrl+click the shape, click Edit text, and then type the text you want to animate. In our example, we'll type WOW!.

    Edit the shape text so it says WOW!

Format the text

  1. On the slide, select the text.

  2. On the Home tab, in the Font group, apply any formatting, such as font settings or colors, that you want. For example, click the arrow next to Font Color  Font Color to choose a different color.

Format the shape

  1. Double-click the shape, and in the properties pane on the right, go to Format Shape > Shape Options.

    Format the shape in the properties pane on the right
  2. Under Fill, choose No fill.

  3. Under Line, choose No line.

  4. Place the shape so the text is where you want it. Your slide now looks something like this:

  2. Click Fly in in Entrance Effects.

    Choose Fly in on the animations tab
