Multiple text boxes to one slide - Is there an easier way?

[ally_bally_bee]

I have a slide with a montage of music attached, I have added text labels to the slide at the points where the music changes. My method is to add a new text box, set a key frame at 0 with opacity 0 then set another key frame just before I want the text to appear with opacity zero followed shortly by a third keyframe with opacity 100 then just before I want to change the text insert a new key frame(4) with opacity 100 and finally a fifth key frame with opacity zero. 

It works but with multiple text boxes it is a bit of a drag - is there another way?

If you set up the first and then copy and paste it, all you have to do for the second and subsequent Text Boxes is alter the Text and adjust the positions of the already configured KF.

Use the time range instead of KF.
