I'm trying to apply an animation preset but it's not working.

I'm trying to apply an animation preset but it's not working.  I've done every procedure to apply a preset to a layer.  But there seems to be nothing happening.  I can't for the life of me figure this one out.  Adobe help simply says drag and drop the preset onto the desired layer, did it and nothing happended.  What am I doing wrong?  Please advise.
I'm using version 6.5 Professional on a Mac Pro computer.
Thanks.

No problem.
You will probably benefit from reading through the "Text" chapter of After Effects Help and the tutorials and such that it links to.
If you need to start from the beginning and learn about the basics of After Effects, then I recommend working through the items under the "Getting started" heading on the After Effects Help and Support home page.
Yes, these resources are largely about the new version of After Effects, but text animation hasn't changed a lot since version 6.5. (Some, but not fundamentally.)
