Bullet points

Another alternative to having each bullet show the next one is just to have a string of "On Show" actions, one for each bullet, at the page level and stagger the delay times. So, for example, you can have the stem sentence be visible and all the bullet text boxes not visible, then make the first bullet become visible after 4 seconds, the next after 6 seconds, the next after 8 seconds, etc. The nice thing about this approach is that you can vary the delays according to how long the text is for the previous bullet (in other words, allowing the user an appropriate amount of time to read each bullet).Another alternative to having each bullet show the next one is just to have a string of "On Show" actions, one for each bullet, at the page level and stagger the delay times.
