You can not apply text animation effects in Microsoft Office Word. However, a text animation effect in a document that was created in an earlier version of Word will behave in Office Word the same way that the effect behaved in earlier versions. In addition, you can copy text with a text animation style from an earlier version of Word, paste, and start typing to produce the same text animation effect in Office Word.What do you want to do?

Animate the text

You can not apply text animation effects in Office Word. However, text animation effects that were applied to text in an earlier version of Word can be viewed in Office Word.

  1. Open a document with text effects applied in an earlier version of Word.
  2. Select some text with the animation effect that you want to use, and then press CTRL+C to copy the text.
  3. Open a new document or click in the current document where you want the text animation effect to continue.
  4. Press CTRL+V to paste the text where you want to continue using the same text animation effect.
  5. Continue typing.

    To stop using the text animation style, remove the text animation effects.

Text animation effects are styles, so you can clear the formatting or set a different style to remove text effects.

  1. Select the text that you want to remove the animation from.
  2. Press CTRL+SPACEBAR to remove the animation and return the text to the default text style.
