Is there a way to display a list entry by entry, one at a time?

Question

Basically I wish to show a long list of names one after the other with the previous entry disapearing bofore the new one follows.
I need to have multiple instances of this happening at the same time, with different lists.
It would be great to be able to read the text from a file or maybe find a way to import the text as multiple text boxes to allow this to happen.
Any ideas?

This sounds complicated but its straight forward.
select the first name in the text document
drag and drop the name from the text document onto the Keynote slide, this creates an individual text box
repeat for each name creating a separate text box for each name
select all the text boxes
go to Inspector > Animate > Build In >Add an Effect and select an animation
          (Inspector is the side panel on the right hand side of  the slide canvas)
change Delivery to:  By Paragraph
go to the Build Out tab > Add an Effect and select an animation
change Delivery to:  By Paragraph
click the build order button
in the build order list, pair up the text boxes by drag and drop, so each name has a build in then a build out in the list.
In the image below, the first two names have been paired, the others have still to be arranged:
