Hello,
Here's what I’m trying to do with PowerPoint.

I have 3 paragraphs of 2 or 3 lines on a slide.
And I would like all the text to appear at once. Then, as I click, the first paragraph appears in bold. Then the second, and finally the third!

Can someone help me?
Thank you in advance
Configuration: Windows XP Internet Explorer 7.0

Hello,

You go to the animation options, and you choose Emphasis. In the emphasis effects, you will find "Change font style."
By default, this will be applied, paragraph by paragraph.

Thank you!

It's a bit complicated! If I want only one paragraph to stand out, that gives me 6 effects (3 for highlighting + 3 for resetting to normal). And if I want to make the paragraphs bold and in color, I just have 12 effects...

It's very quick to do...

You don't create three text boxes, one is sufficient.
You apply bold, then the color.
Then you "open" the animations in the animation pane, and you move the color animations using the arrows so that they interleave with the bold animations.

As for the normalization, I wouldn't bother: just choose "Fade" with a light gray color for example.

Thank you very much m@rina (?R@bert ?) !
I did it! However, I must admit that I don't find all of this very smooth and artistic... But at least, it works!
Thank you

Fluid, that's fine... it also depends on your PC.
Artistic... that's a matter of taste... But I don't find it extraordinary either... We can really do better... I suppose that was imposed on you?

R@bert ???????? why that? :D

No, no, I'm m@rina! and I haven't changed my gender!! :D

No, I didn't know if your name was M@rina R@bert (I know one).

When I say fluidity, it's because the color changes just after the bold. Plus, the color changes, at a minimum, in 0.1 seconds. The bold changes quite abruptly!

Uh no, it's not required. It's just that I have to present a fairly long text to young people in an attractive way! If you have another idea... :p

you can change the color at the same time as making it bold. Speed can also be managed.

Personally, I'm not a fan of bold (;)))
You should try the other animations, some are better.
