Making text bold for a length of time

Oct 16, 2019

Hi,

Does anyone know a way of making text appear bold for a period of time to then revert back to its original formatting? I am trying to get the text to stand out to draw attention to it but I don't want it to stay like this for the duration of the slide. Any suggestions or similar things I could do to make the text stand out would be great!

Use STATES.   

  1. Add a text box
  2. Now EDIT STATES and add a state called BOLD.  Inside this state, bold the text you want to emphasize.  You can add anything to this state panel, even other objects, pictures, shapes.
  3. DONE EDITING STATES.
  4. Now on your timeline, use triggers to change the STATE of that textbox to the one you want at any particular time on the timeline.

If you've never used states before, this is going to change your SL life forever.  You can do this STATE thing on almost everything.  It's basically "layers" but inside a single object.
