Magnify part of text in PowerPoint 2010
In PowerPoint 2010 I have a document that is text and not a picture, that I have inserted into a slide. Is it possible to highlight some of that text, like one sentence, and make just that sentence bigger than the rest of the text on the slide?
Thanks,

For a static highlight, Jamie's input is the solution.
For a dynamic/animated highlight:
1. Duplicate the part of the text you wanna highlight, fill the shape with an opaque colour, superimpose it on its exact spot, then apply an "on click" "grow/shrink" effect with the percentage you want it to grow to (above 100%).
2. Force that segment of your text to be a single paragraph on your text box. Select it and apply the same effect as above. You can even change the type colour while it is growing.
See attached examples.

What I am doing is taking a PDF document and inserting as an object in PPT. When I make the PDF searchable, and copy and paste into PPT, even if I just select a sentence from the PDF to insert, it makes the entire inserted text one group. If done this way, is there some way to just make a few words stand out from the rest by making them bigger? Sorry if I wasn't clear before.

I'm accepting multiple solutions because I used a combination to get my desired effect. Jamie's solution about increasing the font size is what I applied and Miguel explained that I should do a copy and paste rather than inserting a PDF, which is what I was doing, to get my text in the ppt slide to apply the increase font icon. Thanks guys!
What sort of document and how inserted?
