Hi All,

Is there a way to add a scrolling text "Text Box" in powerpoint? I'd like to
have a fixed sized text box with varying amounts of text (different for each
slide) that continually scrolls for as long as the slide is showing.

Any assistance greatly appreciated.

Scott :o)

Scott,
You can do that with PowerPoint 2002/2003.
Create a textbox and type the text.
Drag the textbox out of the slide in the grey area at the top/bottom of the
slide depending on the direction you want to give to the scrolling.
In the Custom Animation task pane choose - Add effect - Entrance - Crawl In
or Fly In - from bottom/top.
Set it with previous, ddjust the speed to your preference.
Double click the effect, select Timing tab, choose Until End of Slide in the
repeat dropdown field.
