I've got a slide that has a text box that's supposed to appear first, as soon as the slide appears, and it stays there while 5 images to the right of it go in and out. The text in the box types out word by word as soon as it appears. However, it won't appear until the 2nd image appears. I have it set on "Start with click". I deleted the 1st instance I had of it because of the same problem, hoping that would somehow "reset" things. I've also tried setting it to "Start with previous". I tried to upload the file, but unfortunately you don't accept anything bigger than 500k. That's like only 1 slide. Seriously?

HEP ME
Thanks

I would post a screenshot of the animation pane so we can see what you did. You could also post the pptx on Dropbox, one drive or similar - just make sure it is public.

Hello John,

Thanks for the help. I actually forced a fix. I simply created a jpg file out of the text box. Stay tuned though, I've got plenty of work to do yet. I wanted to show that the issue was Solved, but I didn't see the button.

Thanks again,
