What does this effect do?
It simply dims the previous points and thereby allows the focus to be on the current point. In this way, you will easily direct your audience's attention. It also helps your audience to focus on the point that you are currently elaborating on.
This effect also makes your slide look less clustered since all the previously elaborated-points would have been dimmed.

For the purpose of illustrating, we will work on a sample slide. If you have your own slide with all your animations done, please proceed to step 2.
1. We will start with a sample slide like this:
2. Click on "Effect Options"
3. Click on drop-down list of "After animation".
Tips:
Choose a color that is as close to your background as possible so that after animation, the text will look as if it fades into the background.
Click on "More Colors" for more selection of colors.
For this sample slide, the color grey is chosen. Remember to click "OK" to register the change.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for all texts that you want to dim after animation.
