Brush Colour Funtion in PowerPoint 2013

Hi John,

Sorry to bother you again. I've tried your suggestion but it still doesn't work. The colouring finishes and it adds an equal amount of time on the animation effect before moving on to the next sequence of words. So, for example, my animation effect takes 5 seconds to complete, then it hangs for 5 more seconds before moving on to the next animation sequence.

You can see it in the animation pane next to the animated item: the rectangular box is half filled in orange, then a equal portion white and it runs through that before transitioning to the next animation on the same slide.

Any idea why?
Thanks
Rita

The timing for brush animation though is especially stupid. If you have animate by letter ON the default delay is set to 4% which is always wrong!

Not easy to explain. If the timing is set to say 15 seconds (You can type your own time in if you double click the entry in "Animation Pane") obviously you want it to take 15 seconds and it won't. The you need to set the delay between letters to match the number of letters. (I know crazy)

So if there are 20 letters set to 5%, 100 letters 1%.

Hope that makes sense.

You will probably find it easier to use font color change BTW!
