I have what would seem like a simple request but it seems impossible
I would like a silgle line of scrolling text - Right to left - in the middle
of the screen.
BUT
I need that line of test to be very long, lets say a thousand words
AND i need the end user to be able to speed up and slow down the scoll to
constantly match their scan rate.

So if there is a genious out there i would cry tears of joy if you know a way.

Thank, Kevin Clark
 
See if this works for yout:
Click View > Toolbars > Control Toolbox.
Select the 4th icon (Textbox).
Add it onto the slide.

Right click on the textbox, select Properties.
Set MultiLine to True, set Scrollbar to 2 - frmScrollBarsVertical.
Now, copy the text.
Go into slide show view, paste the text into the textbox.

Thanks Tohlz,
Maybe it is because i have office 2007? But when i right click on the text
box it does not offer me properties. In fact there seems to be no properties
option anywhere?
 
I am referring to the textbox from Control Toolbox.
If you are using PowerPoint 2007, click on the Developer Tab.
There should be a Textbox (ActiveX Control) icon there.
