dear mr.martin how doo you get the words to come up it looks like it is coming up out off the coumputer
If you are talking about PowerPoint, I believe you are talking about Custom Animations. To get a custom animation, right mouse click on the text and select “Custom Animation”. After you have done that a menu will pop up on the right hand side of the screen, click on “ENTER” and then click on the animation that you want to try. Look at different ones to see which one you like the best.
If you just want the style of the letters to look like it is coming off of the page, click on INSERT > WORD ART. Let me know if this is what you are talking about. MC

Saturn Blasts Back
One July 19, 2020 the S.S Explorers blasted off into space, the mission was to explore the planet Saturn here after traveling for what seemed like a million miles we finally discovered the 5th planet from the sun, Saturn. A couple other things that we discovered are Saturn’s data, the atmosphere, the rings, and the moons.
As is commonly known it takes the Earth 24 hours to spin on its axis .The Earths trip arrowed the sun takes 365 days a year. Our data will show it takes Saturn 10 hours to spin on its axis .One trip around the sun takes 10755.7 days.
The planet Saturn has two brightest rings, which are very colorful. The rings are primarily made out of ice, water, and dust. The atmosphere of Saturn is only a narrow surface layer. If you look at Saturn closely, however, Saturn’s atmosphere is just as fierce as Jupiter. The planet Saturn has18 moons and here are all of the moons that Saturn by their names. First it starts out with Pan, Atlas, Prometheus, Janus, Pandora, Epimetheus, Mimas, Teleso Calypso, Enceladus, Telhys, Dione, Heleno, Rnea, Titan, Hyperion, Titan, Lapetus, and Phoebe. That is some information about the planet Saturn.
In conclusion those are several interesting facts about are wonderful planet called Saturn. Our experience was to explore the planet Saturn, as you can see. Some interesting facts that we learned, is that Saturn has one of the two brightest rings in space and to get to Saturn, it tacks 104,000 light years to reach Saturn. Thank you for reading our interesting facts about Saturn!!!
