AnimateTextInReverse Property
Applies To
AnimationSettings object.
Description
True if the specified shape is built in reverse order. Applies only to shapes (such as shapes containing lists) that can be built in more than one step. Read/write Long.
Remarks
You won't see effects of setting this property unless the specified shape gets animated. For a shape to be animated, the TextLevelEffect property of the AnimationSettings object for the shape must be set to something other than ppAnimateLevelNone and the Animate property must be set to True.
Example
This example adds a slide after slide one in the active presentation, sets the title text, adds a three-item list to the text placeholder, and sets the list to be built in reverse order.
With ActivePresentation.Slides.Add(2, ppLayoutText).Shapes
.Item(1).TextFrame.TextRange.Text = "Top Three Reasons"
With .Item(2)
.TextFrame.TextRange = "Reason 1" & Chr(13) & _
"Reason 2" & Chr(13) & "Reason 3"
With .AnimationSettings
.Animate = True
.TextLevelEffect = ppAnimateByFirstLevel
.AnimateTextInReverse = True
