Scrolling text in Powerpoint 2000/2002

[webmaster999]

Hey Everyone. Hope I am in the right place.

I need to know if there is a way to scroll text using animations or something in Powerpoint 2000. I have PP2000 but I can purchase 2002 if I have to have that.

What I have is the 2800+ person list of people that died at WTC on 9-11 and I need to be able to scroll them in a long list, fairly quickly, at a church service on Wednesday.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Create a text box - a regular rectangle or any AutoShape. input your text:

Once you've entered all the names or any other text you need, deselect the text box. Click on the periphery of the text box to select the text box, not the text inside the box!

Press the Alt key on the keyboard - with the Alt key still pressed, drag and move the entire text box above the area off your slide. Right click your text box, and choose 'Custom Animation' from the options in the flyout menu.

In the 'Effects' tab of the Custom Animation dialog box, choose 'Crawl From Bottom' in the 'Entry Animation' drop down menu.

Proceed to the 'Order and Timing' tab and select the radio button representing 'Automatically' and change the value to 00:00 seconds. Preview your animation - tweak settings again in the 'Custom Animation' box if required.
