Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
Does the section on Chart Effects tab in the online help pasted below help?
Animate text and objects:
In normal view, display the slide that has the text or objects you want to
animate.
On the Slide Show menu, click Custom Animation, and then click the Effects
tab.
If you are animating a chart created in Microsoft Graph, click the Chart
Effects tab.
Under Check to animate slide objects, select the check box next to the text
or object you want to animate.
Under Entry animation and sound and Introduce text (if you are animating
text), select the options you want.
For Help on an option, click the question mark and then click the option.
Repeat steps 3 and 4 for every object you want to animate.
Click the Order and Timing tab.
To change the order of animation, select the object you want to change under
Animation order, and then click one of the arrows to move the object up or
down in the list.

in other languages this is known as adding overlays
in my limited experience w/PowerPoint
my kludge has been to
looptop:
copy the entire previous slide
add the new item
if done then goto exit
else goto looptop:
exit:
in my current research into what to recommend for
LaTeX users who want to do presentations
-- those w/LaTeX installed may find these docs under
...\doc\latex\ifmslide\ifmman.*
The ifmman style defines an environment
which allows one to define a series of slides
with each slide having a new item, here described as \step
\begin{slide}
\section{Features}
\stepwise{
\begin{itemize}
\item[...] produces DVI (\LaTeX{}) for printouts and PDF
(PDF\LaTeX{}) for direct presentation.
\step{\item[...]
DVI-Version with extra margins for the printer.}
%snippage of eight other \step
\end{itemize}
}
\end{slide}
note that this single definition of \slide
produces 10 slides in the pdf
each successive slide having one more item
to view the output of this procedure, a pdf of size=362KB:
ftp://ftp.sunsite.utk.edu/pub/CTAN/macros/latex/contrib/ifmslide/doc/ifmman.

note: the Univ/TN mirror is closest to me
you may wish to pick a mirror closer to you
http://www.ctan.org/getmirror/?filename=macros/latex/contrib/ifmslide/doc/if
mman.pdf&action=/getfile/
side note on the power of LaTeX:
filename size
ifmman.tex 14KB
ifmman.pdf 362KB
ifmman.tex is the source code, from which I cut&paste the above code
ifmman.pdf is the document output by pdfLaTeX.exe
