In OpenOffice.org Presentation / MS PowerPoint, many people have

* one line

* appearing

* at a time

rather than everything on a slide at once.

I do this by copying the slide several times, then deleting text, so that slide 1 has 'one line', slide 2 has 'one line / appearing' and slide 3 has the lot.

Is there an easier way?

Beat me too it - yes, you want Slide Show > Animation and you'll need to put each line you want to 'appear' in its own text box.

You don't need to have each line in a different text box; under Slide Show > Custom Animation you can introduce text 'all at once' and 'grouped by 1st level paragraphs' (assuming you've set it up correctly using the automatic slide formatting). (This is in MS PPt, at least, but I guess it would be similar in Open Office).

Thanks to all of you...

I'm not sure I'll use it much, but someone else is going to be very pleased.
