On the tabs at the very top, go to animations. Near the left side you will see an icon and Custom Animation. Click that - it will open up the animation palette. It is the exact same palette that was in XP and 2003, so if you used it then, you can use it now.

If not, you need to select the item you want to animate, go to the add effect pulldown menu and go from there. You'll see motion paths and in the Entrance and Exits, you'll find credits and random bars and tons of other options.

For timing them out, once you have added an animation to something, right click on it in the animation palette and select view advanced timeline - you can play with the timing lengths and when they begin and end. You can also do it numerically by right clicking on an item and going to effects options (or just double click it). You'll find some other handy stuff in there like repeating, reversing, bring in by paragraph or 1st level, etc. or by word or letter.
