Hi,

I am making a presentation in which some lines gray out when I have
talked about them. Sometimes, images have to pop up and disappear
again. I do this using custom animations. The problem however is that
sometimes the sentence which I want to be gray waits for a mous click,
while I have set it to "start with previous). On another sheet, I want
to keep one sentence black, while the others gray out. When I remove
the entry of the animation to gray it out, it still gets gray when I
get to it. What am I doing wrong...?

It will help a lot if you go through step by step what you did to get the
with previous greying out.

We can't see your PC and it's not clear what you actually did.

I have a sheet with standardlayout with a couple of points and a
couple of sub points. For each single point, I have an "appear"
animation. When I click, I want the new text to appear and the old one
to become gray. I do this with the "change text style". I have found
out that if you say that powerpoint should change the text style
before a click, it will do it after the cick.

At leadst I got it workig now...
