Display items on a page at user pace

[anthony01]

Hi, I'm wondering if this is possible in InDesign & how to accomplish it? The idea is essentially a slide show that reveals an items at a time rather than changing the whole page. I'd like to have a page that says....

This is a good sentence.

Here's another one.

This third sentence is also good.

But the user experience would be...

This is a good sentence.

<click>

This is a good sentence.

Here's another one.

<click>

Here's another one.

This third sentence is also good.

I know I can accomplish this by just creating three separate pages, but that is labor-intensive and very difficult to manage/ edit. Please lmk if you have any ideas!!

You are describing a Powerpoint presentation. This would be very labor-intensive in InDesign but could be done with multistate objects for epub or publish online.

This looks interesting. Would I have to put each sentence in its own textbox? Or is there some function like a line break that will allow InDesign to see the sentences as separate objects? Thanks for the reply!

You could do it with animations in separate text frames or just build it with the MSO.
