MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / September 2006Credits scroll
I'm trying to make a fairly long credit roll but it stops after about a page and a half. I seem to remember doing this a while back without a problem and then it included pictures as well as text. Can anyone offer advice? Marc Credits has a limit of 2 slide heights Try placing the text box just above the slide and using "fly in from bottom" Set the speed to 15 secs or even slower Make sure that text animation is set to "one object"  SignatureDid that answer the question / help? _____________________________ John Wilson Microsoft Certified Office Specialist http://www.technologytrish.co.uk/ppttipshome.html > I'm trying to make a fairly long credit roll but it stops after about a page > and a half.

[quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Marc I just did this with 65 names and pictures I put all my information at the top of the slide used the Effect Crawl, Entrance from the bottom each item timing was With Previous, then set the scroll speed in my case it was 15 seconds so that when one name was leaving the slide another was coming in and adjust the delay time to what ever is good for you in my pres, the delay time for the first name was 0 and the last was 409 seconds. Hope this with what everyone else has suggested helps. SignatureMichael Koerner MS MVP - PowerPoint > I'm trying to make a fairly long credit roll but it stops after about a > page and a half.

I have divided the credits into two parts to resolve the problem.
