Text 'appear' animation should be all at once by default

Post by pdedecker »

In Presentations, when I have a text box and animate it using 'appear', the default is to make it appear 'letter by letter'.

This is different from what PowerPoint and other programs (Impress, Keynote) do. In those programs 'appear' simply makes it appear all at once. This is consistent with the 'appear' behavior of other items such as images etc. The 'letter by letter' animation may be fun in some settings but it is poorly suited to more serious presentations. Now I have to fix this by editing all of those animations manually, which is tedious.

I think Presentations should default to making the text appear all at once, just like every other presentations program I know of.

Thanks for the feedback. Different software behaves differently, but I've forwarded this as an improvement suggestion...
