------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sat Sep 10 19:46:49 -0700 2005 ------- OOo 1.9.125 Laptop - XP Pro Sp2, Pentium 4 3.00GHz, 512MB Ram, ATI Mobility Radeon 9700 Desktop - XP Pro Sp2, Pentium 4 3.20GHz, 1.00GB Ram, Radeon 9800 Pro I get the same effect, to replicate: 1. Open Impress 2. Create a text field (or any object really) 3. Create any other object (I use smiley faces) 4. Go to Custom Animations 5. Add appear effect to the text field 6. Under effect options -> After animation -> select dim with color, and then choose any color. 7. Now add any effect to your second object 8. Enter Slideshow 9. Left click once, The text will appear, and will very quickly change to your selected color 10. Left click again, new object will appear using whatever effect you chose. Initially I felt this was fine as it would usually take a second or so for the colors to change, however, currently there is a slight delay before the text appears and it often appears already having changed to the new color. I’m unsure what I did to introduce this slight delay, because none of the delay options are over 0.0 seconds. This isn’t too bothersome because there is a simple enough workaround. Start over, and do numbers 1-5 as shown above, then: 6. Select your second object and add any effect. 7. Select your text again, and add a new effect under the Emphasis tab “Change Font Color” 8. Under the Custom Animations area, select “with previous” under the start selection, and choose your font color. 9. There should now be three custom animations, the first being your appear text, the second being your object effect, and the last being the change font color for your text. 10. Enter Slideshow Now when you left click the second time (step 10 in the first group), both the text color changes and the second animation play simultaneously. If there is no slight delay in your text display, you can attempt an even simpler workaround. This did work for me at first, but when the text began taking a second or so to show up, I felt the above was the only surefire solution. Do the first 7 steps, and while adding the effect to the second object, have it start “After previous”. The timing is slightly different than the other solution I have, but it may work fine for you, and save you from creating an extra animation. This may be working as designed, though I’ll check to see if I can get rid of that delay in my text. Hope this helps.
