Animating Cropped Text
Why?
Cool PowerPoint animation effect on individual letters.
This simple animation takes advantage of converting
WordArt into an image and cropping it.
This simple WordArt was inserted into PowerPoint.
It was cut.
It was then pasted back via Paste Special| png.
After it is pasted back, it is copied again into the
clipboard. This is because we will paste it back a number of times. And
we want to paste the png format as it will crop via the Picture Toolbar
crop feature.

2007:
The image is cropped upwards from the bottom. I have my
Snap To Grid setting set to 2 centimetres and made sure I dragged my
WordArt to fit the grid. That will make cropping easier as the crop will
snap to my 2 centimetre intervals.
This is the image cropped towards the top. The image is
then pasted back on top. As I copied it when it was in position, it
should paste back in exactly the same spot.
You can see how the second image (lower down) has been
cropped to where the top one finished (top arrow) from the top down. The result
is an image of text from two images.
Done. I have numbered the three images. You may have to
check for any gaps in the images and bump them together to hide any of
these gaps!
Now to animate.
I have gone for Entrance| Swivel.
I also have a 0.5 second delay, but all animations
end together. Makes for a very powerful animated entrance!
