First, I am starting out with a plain white document with black text for tutorial purposes.
To open the animation palette, go to Window/Animation.
The palette will pop up. It should be at the bottom of the screen. It looks like this:
If it looks a little different, make sure the tab called "Animation (Frames)" is selected.
The box at the bottom of the palette that looks like a piece of paper with the corner turned up will give you a new slide (it works pretty much the same way as a layer). The trashcan icon next to it deletes slides.
In the main part of the palette, you can see the slides that will be used to animate. Think of the slides as a flipbook. The first slide will "flip" into the next and so on.
The numbers on the bottom of each slide that says "0 sec" is where you can set how long that slide will appear before changing to the next.
Now you are ready to start animating. Go to this page for a tutorial on the first type of animation.
