By Aine O’Neill, Toastmasters International
Do you have times when you feel frustrated and regret not taking up an opportunity that came your way?
If so, it’s good to remind yourself of the song sung so memorably by Whitney Houston:
Give me one moment in time
When I’m more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
And the answers are all up to me
And then remember a time when you have grasped an opportunity. A time when you have used your talents and showed the inner potential that you have – perhaps surprising yourself as well as others.

We have explored how you can animate words between slides using the Morph transition effect. But what if you want to take this technique further to a kinetic typography level where a hundred text characters need to animate to different positions and styles in the next slide? This sort of animated effect is surprisingly very easy to achieve in PowerPoint, as we will learn in this tutorial.
