Hi Mike, I just tested this in OpenOffice.org 1.1.4 for Linux and it worked. Setting the text effect on the master slide doesn't do anything, so it appears that each slide needs to have the text effect manually set as follows: Display the Animation Effects dialog: Slideshow > Effects. Select the text. Click on the Text Effects button. Choose the effect from the top drop down, then the direction and speed. Click the Assign button (tick). Thanks, Ian
