Re: Word 2007 - How to animate text

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

In addition to text animation, some features that I know of that have been removed are Fast Saves and the WordPerfect options (Help for WP users and Navigation keys for WP users). In addition, the Line Style feature is no longer available for drawing lines. Perhaps others can add other deprecated features (not counting most of the useful parts of Help).

Thanks Jay. I wondered if it had been removed. That answers a lot becasue
I've been searching help and tutorials for days now.

I wonder if there's a place that states what has been REMOVED from these
lovely new applications. Sometimes, it would be helpful to know what is NOT
there just as much as what is there. Both equally important I think.

Once again many thanks.

It was removed and is no longer available.

There was an official reason and an unofficial reason -- officially,
Microsoft's collected statistics showed that animations were very rarely
used, but unofficially it was acknowledged that the available animations
were just plain irritating.
