Text Animation Template(?)

[SeismicGuy]

I have not been able to easily figure this out so I'll ask.  I am adding animated text to various slides just to describe the location or name of the place in the slide.  I want to have the text/animation the same or at least similar for all of these slides so is there a way to copy the text animation from one slide and apply it to the others without having to start from scratch each time?

Add your text/animation to a Frame in the correct position and copy/paste the Frame. Change the Text as required.

Why use a Frame??

Just add a Text Item, apply the animation you want & then copy the Text Item to other Slides & change the Text to say what you want

I am not sure about what a "Text Item" is either.  Do you mean a blank slide with just the text on it customized and animated in a way you would like to apply to other slides?? Even if that description is correct not sure how you would add this to the other slides.

But it did occur to me that once I have a slide with the text customization (font/placement/animation) to my liking I could just copy that slide a bunch of times and then for each copy just replace the main image with the one I want--yes?

Because you will be working in Objects and Animation, maybe "Text Object" is a more appropriate description. You could copy and paste the whole slide as you described or go into O&A and copy the Text Object from slide to slide on top of other objects.

Sometimes it is the simplest, in this case you copy the frame and paste it on the next slide.

Sorry I meant Text Object of course

I can see you would use a Frame where you have applied other Objects to the Text.

I assumed the original poster just wanted a simple piece of Text & was using PTE Text Animation to do the Animation.

Yes what I was wanting to do was that once I was happy with the "look" of text (font style, size, color, way it was animated etc) I wanted to shortcut the process of adding text to another size of the same without having to choose the font style, size, color, animation all over again.  I figured there should be some quick way of eliminating those separate steps and just copy/paste what I wanted in a single step.

Talk about being obtuse, I just discovered what I should have originally figured out.  I go to the slide with the text style and animation I like, right click on the text object (I guess that is what you call it) in O&A, copy it, and then paste it on O&A in the subsequent slides.  I guess I should have seen the obvious.
