looping Text boxes

You can put each paragraph on its own layer.

Layer starts when you want the text to appear, and its timeline runs until you want the second paragraph. Set a trigger to show layer 2 when timeline of layer 1 ends. Have the last layer show the first when it is finished.

You can advance to the next slide by means of the timeline on the base layer, if none of the layers pauses the base timeline, or it can be done by clicking on an object on the base layer, if no layer prevents that.  Be sure each layer hides other layers. (these are all layer settings, found by clicking the gear icon to the right of the layer name.

To fasde in and out, the text needs to have the animation set on it, as transitions do not apply to layers.

Hi Walt

just to jump in on this - I have been able to successfully add transitions to layers.

See attached file. Base layer has no transition, layer 1 has random bars and layer 2 has diamond.

Wow!

I stand corrected. I was under the impression it didn't work. Thanks.

I didn't know you could either - I found it by accident when adding a transition to a slide and was on a layer not the base...have a good day!

Walt,
Thank you so much for the quick response - I'm sure that will work perfectly. What a simple solution! It just goes to show that when you are beating your head against the wall, take a step back and reach out to this community. What a fantastic resource!

Kind regards,
Jim

Thanks, Wendy!
