9 Click the Library tab and choose the Sequence Text behavior in the Text Animation
subcategory of the Behaviors category.

Configuring the Sequence Text Behavior

right, then a sequential stretching of the letters from right to left. This can easily be

To configure the Sequence behavior:
1 In the Inspector under the Behaviors tab, choose Format > Scale from the Add
Parameter pop-up menu.
The Scale parameter appears in the Behaviors tab.
