Font effects
I am new to office 2007 and was very used to 2003.
I was able to make text flash in 2003 by format font, effects and then blinking which made my text flash to stand out. With 2007 I would like to do the same - can anyone advise how to do this please - the menu's are so different. If not possible (which I am sure it is) then how can I stop a flashing text from blinking that was done in 2003? Thanks Billy |

Hi Billy,
The text animation feature is no longer supported in the UI in Word 2007, but you can implement it by selecting text and running a macro such as the following. Sub TextEffects() Dim animationType As String animationType = InputBox("Type the number of the text effect" _ & vbCrLf & "that you want to apply to the selected text." _ & vbCrLf & "1. Las Vegas lights" _ & vbCrLf & "2. Blinking background" _ & vbCrLf & "3. Sparkle text" _ & vbCrLf & "4. Marching black ants" _ & vbCrLf & "5. Marching red ants" _ & vbCrLf & "6. Shimmer" _ & vbCrLf & "7. None", _ "Text Effects") With Selection.Font Select Case animationType Case "1" .Animation = wdAnimationLasVegasLights Case "2" .Animation = wdAnimationBlinkingBackground Case "3" .Animation = wdAnimationSparkleText Case "4" .Animation = wdAnimationMarchingBlackAnts Case "5" .Animation = wdAnimationMarchingRedAnts Case "6" .Animation = wdAnimationShimmer Case "7" .Animation = wdAnimationNone Case Else MsgBox "No valid number was typed." End Select Selection.Collapse Direction:=wdCollapseStart End With End Sub To install this macro, copy the macro to the clipboard, press Alt+F8, type the name of the macro in "Macro name" box, click "Create," replace the macro created by the macro that you copied to the clipboard, and close the Visual Basic Editor. When you want to run it, press Alt+F8, type or select its name, and press Enter. After you install it, you can also assign it to a shortcut key. -- Hope this helps, Pesach Shelnitz My Web site: http://makeofficework.com "Billy1036fm" wrote: I am new to office 2007 and was very used to 2003.
