Hi, I am working in PowerPoint XP, and I'm trying to help a student who has a
long list of names that she wants to scroll on the slide. The names are in a
text box. There are probably about 60 names, listed one after another. She
has the 'credits' entrance animation applied, but it only would scroll to a
certain point, like 15 names down, then stop. I tried splitting the names
into separate text boxes - that didn't work either, it still stopped, even
when I set them up the same way, entrance 'credits', with previous. Any
ideas?? I'd appreciate any help I can get! The font she's using is 20, so
they are pretty large - I was putting 15 in each text box. Thank you!
