Bleau
It is still there only behind the facade. Select the text. Open the VB Editor then open the immediate window (ViewImmediate Window). Type in: Selection.Font.Animation = wdAnimationMarchingRedAnts or whichever you need and press enter. Bleau wrote: Can some kind soul point me in the right direction on how to animate text.

There was an official reason and an unofficial reason -- officially, Microsoft's collected statistics showed that animations were very rarely used, but unofficially it was acknowledged that the available animations were just plain irritating. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

Word 2007 - How to animate text
Thanks Jay. I wondered if it had been removed. That answers a lot becasue
I've been searching help and tutorials for days now. I wonder if there's a place that states what has been REMOVED from these lovely new applications. Sometimes, it would be helpful to know what is NOT there just as much as what is there. Both equally important I think. Once again many thanks.

Word 2007 - How to animate text
In addition to text animation, some features that I know of that have been
removed are Fast Saves and the WordPerfect options (Help for WP users and Navigation keys for WP users). In addition, the Line Style feature is no longer available for drawing lines. Perhaps others can add other deprecated features (not counting most of the useful parts of Help). -- Suzanne S.

Word 2007 - How to animate text
A fairly complete list is in the article
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/l.../cc179199.aspx, the section "What's removed", but it doesn't mention animations. On Tue, 1 Sep 2009 18:00:33 -0500, "Suzanne S.

That list (thanks for the link) includes "Blue background, white text,"
another we've fielded a number of questions about (but which I'd forgotten). -- Suzanne S.
