Yes, but it is not obvious. I found it by Googling, but I can't now remember what I looked for. Keep open the Custom Animation tab of the Task pane on the right while doing this. Select the element on the slide which you want to change in this way, probably the text area with the bullet points in it, so the green squares surround the text area. Click Add in Custom Animation pane Click Appear in the list of possibles. Click OK Select the name of the selected item that now appears in the custom animation pane, probably something like Outline Text. Click on the button labelled with three dots in the centre of the custom animation pane (this is the magic door to the Effect Options dialogue you need) Select Text animation tab and group text by 1st level paragraphs Select Timing tab. For the Outline text, you will probably want to select With previous because otherwise you may find you need an extra click to see any of the text at all. Click OK. Expand the outline text list in the Custom Animation pane (Plus sign by the item) and repeat for each of the separate paragraphs, but this time you will want to select On Click for the Timing of each item. And experiment and change to what you really want to see, instead of what I've suggested. It is really very flexible indeed. -- Andy Pepperdine On this mailing list help is provided by volunteers.
