The Follower only works on Text+ tools. This tool allows for a plethora of cool motion graphics effects. The basic idea is that you animate the parameters of a single character and the other characters will follow that animation with a delay.

It can be applied by right clicking into the Styled text fiel of a Text+ tool and selecting

Follower
.
