hmmm, could you give me a little bit of advice please?
I have just been looking and have come up with a work around. I noticed that if I use Eclipse Motion for the animation it only applies this to the Title text box and not the second text box, the second text box it just faded in, line by line. Other animations like Dissolve In are applied to both text boxes. Anyway, what I did was added three lines of dashes below the last text line to give people a bit more time to read it.

I have a lot to learn I guess. The reason I am starting to use Powerpoint is that I visit a lot of Stately homes here in England and I like to show the pictures to my mom as she doesn't get about too well. I thought rather than use the "view as a slideshow" option in the picture folder I could make a Powerpoint presentation so I could give some information on the batches of pictures, and individual pictures if they have some particular interest like "Henry VIII slept in this bed" or "Queen Victoria sat at this desk".

Cheers
