Quick way to float a bullet point in the body text to title?

Post by New Daddy »

I'm building a series of slides that are hierarchical.

What I mean by "hierarchical" is that the first bullet point of Slide #1 becomes the topic of Slide #2, and the first bullet point of Slide #2 becomes the topic of Slide #3, and so on.

Unless the audience is already aware of the hierarchy of my topics, they can easily be lost.

Is there a good way of demonstrating this hierarchy through animation?

If I can make Bullet Point #1 of Slide #1 rise to the top and become the title of Slide #2, the mission will be kind of accomplished. But this animation wasn't easy to create either. (Prezi would serve my needs wonderfully, but I've decided to stick with PowerPoint after flirting with Prezi for a while.)

Any ideas?

This is the best that I could come up with...
It involves an EXIT animation on the title
Then a custom path to rise up the first body point to the position of the title
Included in the motion path are emphasis animation to grow the point to the size of the title and change its colour.

It's a bit of work, but hopefully with the animation painter, it can lighten the process...
