To start, click on the text box you want to animate to select it.

Then, locate the **Animate** button at the top right corner and click on it. This action will open the animation panel along the right of your screen, where you will find a range of animation options to choose from.

In the animation panel, when you have the **Text Effect** tab selected, you will see various animation options for your text box. Choose the desired animation effect – you can preview them by clicking on them within the sidebar.

Once you’ve selected the animation effect for your text box, you can further customize it towards the bottom of the animation panel. Adjust the style by using the **Style** dropdown menu: selecting between **Letter by Letter** animation, or **Word by Word.** For longer lines of text or text boxes with multiple lines, we recommend using the Word by Word style to maintain a good balance in your design with the information and animations.

Adjust the direction by using the dropdown menu to select either **Right to Left or Left to Right.**

Adjust the timing by using the **Animate** dropdown menu. This allows you to control when and how the animation starts. You can also use the Animation Timeline to time all of the objects in your project from a high-level view.
