Animation on text using PowerPoint

Question

Rafael's interpretation of the question

I want an animation in PowerPoint, where one word appears from left to right, as it is being typed, and then it disappears as it is being deleted with a backspace key, making room for a new word.

Answer 1

I am sorry if the names on the options are not exact because I am using PowerPoint in Spanish. But I am posting some screen captures so you get the idea. Feel free to edit the post.

A general approach would be:

I. Prepare the design of your slide. Put a background and add a text block you want to animate.

II. Duplicate your slide.

III. On the first slide, on the animation panel (1) select your block of text and use "wipe" (2) as an entry animation.

IV. Go to effect options (3) and choose left to right (4)

Now on the second slide do the same with the block of text but choose right to left as the final step.

You can add both animations, entry, and exit on the same slide opening the animation panel, so you have things more organized using one text per slide instead of two.

---

The result

This makes a smooth transparent effect on the text.

Another variant, probably more exactly matching the look on your example is using the "Appear" (5) option and choosing character by character (7) on the options (6) of the animation:

The problem with this method is that the text will disappear left to right, not like using the backspace key.
