Lost Text Animations by Paragraph After Translation

I just translated a Storyline 360 course into Spanish using the Word doc import. Nearly every slide has an animated text box with the setting "By Paragraph" so that each bullet point is timed with the audio narration. After translation, that menu option is gone and all the text comes in at once with no way to adjust it. I've tried several things to fix it (turning all the bullets off and on again, removing and re-adding the line breaks, etc.), but nothing gives me that option again on the Animations menu, Effect Options  (Entrance Animations) menu. Never had this problem before with translations. Any ideas?
