SYMPTOMS
If you record a slide narration for a slide that contains an animated
text box and then view the Slide Show, the animated text may not appear
synchronized with the recorded narration.
Suppose, for example, you have a slide with two bulleted paragraphs on
it. When you record your narration, you click once three seconds into
the slide to display the first point, click again thirteen seconds later
to display the second bullet, and click yet again four seconds later to
advance to the next slide. When you view your slide, the first bullet
point appears seven seconds into the slide, the second appears fourteen
seconds into the slide, and the slide advances at twenty-one seconds.
CAUSE
When you have a single object that is animated by paragraph, PowerPoint
divides the total time for the slide equally and displays the animated
paragraphs at equal intervals.
WORKAROUND
To create a slide where multiple paragraphs appear at irregular intervals,
create each paragraph as a separate text object. You can now use the Custom
Animation dialog box to determine how long an interval passes between the
appearance of each animated paragraph and the one before it.
