highlight current bullet in keynote

This is a different situation. To do this, you will need to set this up manually:

• on a new slide, add a text box and create a bulleted list, with all the text coloured grey
• duplicate the text box as many times as you have bullet points
• in the second text box colour the first bullet text in your highlight colour
• repeat the process for the other text boxes:

• place each text box exactly on top of the first slide:

• you will now have a series of layers of text one on top of each other
• add a Build IN effect to all the text boxes so they animate on to the slide one after the other, in the correct order

Thank you so much! Yes it works but I won't apply it because it will take forever,

It took me 3 minutes to do the demo for you. Once you have the Keynote file made, copy it and make changes infinite number of times for other projects.

good luck

Go to Inspector /Animate /Build In effect

click on Add an effect button,

choose one of the effects and select the By Highlighted Bullet from the Delivery dropdown menu
