Animate separate word in a paragraph in PPT 2013 (method 2)

In my previous article I used white space and a separate textbox to animate a single word in a paragraph.

Let's try a different approach.

Format the word you want to animate to be 100% transparent (1)
Select the word, right click it and choose Format shape. In the task pane click Text options and use the slider next to Transparency, slide till you reach 100 %.

As you can see the selected word is still in place.

Copy the entire text box and make it 100 % transparent (2). Now select only the animated word and set it back to 0% (3)

As a last step align the two text boxes on top of each other. To do so use the alignment tools on the Format tab of the contextual tab Drawing tools.

Now animate the second text box and you are done.
