I have a long crawl...actually three 'paragraphs' of bulleted items. Beside
this long text object, there are three smaller text objects each containing
"A", "B", "C" respectively.
There are two issues I have with this:
First, is there a way to limit the upper bound of the crawl. As it is now,
it scrolls up over the title and off the top of the slide. I'd like it to
disappear before it gets to the title.
Second, it stops before it gets to the end of the crawl. I've added
carriage returns and even characters, but it still stops.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks
Bert

Bert,
To make the text disappear before it reaches the title, I often format the
title box to follow the slide background. You will also have to make the
title placeholder wider and taller so that the text does not reappear when
it passes the title. It there is no title an invisible rectangle on top of
the slide with no border and no fill will do the trick.
As to why it stops, that's another thing. There is a limit to the amount of
text you can crawl.

Bert,

You might want to try "Peek Out" exit. Use with previous and try overlapping
the exit with the Crawl entrance.

I hope this helps.
