Animated text

I love that PowerPoint has this feature, but was frustrated that Storyline did not until I figured out an easy fix (assuming that the text only has one background color, and is not over an image or something else).

I created the text I needed and have it in a white box. This text is 3 lines.

Then, I created 3 rectangles of white that I placed over each of the 3 lines.

All of this appears at the same time at the beginning of the timeline on the slide.

Then, I created exit animations for each of the white rectangles. Wipe, From Left, 1.50 Seconds

The first line exits first, then the second, then the third. You could easily do this for more lines.

It looks very similar to what PowerPoint does for "by letter"
