Hi John,
I have two sentences per slide, in one text box. I select the text box (so the animation affects all the text in box). Then I animate using the brush effect, and select timing (presets are very slow, slow. Medium, fast and very fast). When you play the animation, it colours letter by letter but then hangs at the end, which makes it difficult to have the slides transition based on the audio. Even when I set the transition time, the animation time seems to over-ride the transition settings.

Thanks for your help!!
Rita
