How to Make Text Jiggle in PowerPoint 2007
You can choose PowerPoint text on a slide and make it jiggle. This animation works best if the PowerPoint text has a font like Cosmic or Jokerman. By using a very small motion path and setting the timing options to repeat until the end of the slide, you can make the text jiggle the entire time the slide is on-screen:
1 Type the text that you want to jiggle.Use the Font drop-down list to choose a typeface. |
2 Use the Zoom control at the bottom-right corner of the screen to zoom in to 400%.Zoom in so you can draw a tiny motion path. |
3 Open the Custom Animation task pane. |
4 Click Add Effect and then choose Motion Paths→Draw Custom Path→Scribble.The cursor changes to a little pencil. |
5 Draw a tightly knit scribble pattern right in the center of the text.Go back and forth and up and down quite a few times to make the jiggle effect appear to be random. |
6 Zoom back out to normal size.Now you see what the effect will really look like. |
7 Open the the Custom Animation task paneThis brings up the dialog box that lets you set the timing options. |
8 Change the speed to Very Fast and the Repeat drop-down to Until End of Slide. Then click OK.It’s that easy! |
9 Run the slide show to check the effect.You might have to try this several times before you get an effect you like. |
