Dim Text to Keep Audience Focus in PowerPoint Presentations

Dim Text Color Choice

1. In the dialog box (the title of the dialog box will differ depending on the choice you made for the animation effect), select the Effect tab if it is not already selected.


2. Click the drop down arrow in the After animation: section.


3. Select a color for the dimmed text. It is a good idea to choose a color that is close to the color of the slide background, so that it is still visible after dimming, but is not distracting when you are discussing a new point.

Color Options
• Choose a color that is currently visible in the list.
• Or choose a color from More Colors...
4. Click OK when you have made your selection.
