Add rest of letters to a word on click

Hi,
I have the name Victoria up on the slide, and I want to make a word from each letter. So V-add ivacious.. etc.
Then click and the rest of I-nnovative would come in.
Is there anyway of doing this?

Most people will suggest having the end of the word in a separate text box. This CAN work but it is not easy to make the alignment correct and is difficult if you need to later edit the word.

A way that can work better is to type in the WHOLE word. Set the letter you do not want to show to be the same colour as the background and then use a brush on color animation to change the whole word to the original color.

This will only work if you have a plain background

Thanks, sounds a bit too much for me!
Is there a way of just bringing in one word at a time?

No, all animations affect whole sentences.

Ah no problem. Thank so much for the reply

You can see a quick demo of the colour change method here.
