This example adds a slide after slide one in the active presentation, sets the title text, adds a three-item list to the text placeholder, and sets the list to be built in reverse order.
With ActivePresentation.Slides.Add(2, ppLayoutText).Shapes
.Item(1).TextFrame.TextRange.Text = "Top Three Reasons"
With .Item(2)
.TextFrame.TextRange = "Reason 1" & Chr(13) _
& "Reason 2" & Chr(13) & "Reason 3"
With .AnimationSettings
.Animate = msoTrue
.TextLevelEffect = ppAnimateByFirstLevel
.AnimateTextInReverse = msoTrue
End With
