Animation by paragraph is missing
Hello, can someone please let me know where the "sequence" option has disappeared to? I am trying to animate a paragraph. Option to animate by paragraph used to live at the very bottom under the "effect options", and it seems to have vanished. thank you!
Thanks Elizabeth! I figured it out. It seemed that if all of the text was too much to fit in the box and a scroll bar appeared, animating text on entry or exit remained viable options and I could still customize the way they appeared (by left, right, top, etc.), but animating "by paragraph" or "as one object" options disappeared. When I resize the text box so scroll bar went away, the options returned. :) all set for now! Thank you!

It's hard to know without seeing the slide and the timeline but is there any chance you have a text box on top of a shape and it's the shape you currently have selected? The by paragraph option only shows if you have the object selected that has text in it.
