Animated text box has text which gets left behind when a motion path is added

May 11, 2023

Hi. I have created a text box which has bullet points entering one after the other. When all information is in the text box, I apply a motion path moving the text box to allow room for additional information. The text box moves, however it leaves the text behind. Is this a common fault? It seems like something that might be regularly used.

Hi Learning Development,

Thanks for attaching your file! I understand the text isn't moving with the shape in your motion path animation. I'd be happy to work with you to figure out why this is happening!

After looking at your file, I saw that there wasn't a text box inside the shape you created. I rebuilt your test file with a shape and a text box and set them up to animate on separate motion paths and that has fixed the issue.

I've attached the new file below.

I hope this helps!
