    Dim timeMain As TimeLine 
    Dim shpActive As Shape 
 
    Set shpActive = ActivePresentation.Slides(1).Shapes(1) 
    Set timeMain = ActivePresentation.Slides(1).TimeLine 
 
    ' Add a blast effect to the text, and animate the text separately 
    ' from the background. 
    timeMain.MainSequence.ConvertToAnimateBackground _ 
        Effect:=timeMain.MainSequence.AddEffect(Shape:=shpActive, _ 
            effectid:=msoAnimEffectBlast), _ 
        AnimateBackGround:=msoFalse
