Set Rotation to the largest (or smallest) value you want the text to rotate in your
animation. In this example, Rotation is set to 90 degrees.

The first character begins at 0 degrees, rotates to 90 degrees, and then rotates back to
0 degrees.

The animation—which begins at the default value for any added parameter, animates
to the value you specify, and resolves back to the default value—cycles completely
through each character because the Select parameter is set to Character by default.
When Select is set to Word, each word in the text object scales up and down as a single
character.

Click the Select pop-up menu, then choose All.

Select parameter determines how the animation
cycles through the text object (Character, Word,
Line, All, or Custom).
