Is there any way to make Powerpoint roll text vertically
or crawl text horizontally across a page? We are
considering using Powerpoint as a way to post commumity
events. There will be occasions when the text won't all
fit on one page.
 
Depends on which version of PowerPoint you are using. In PPT 2002 there
is an animation called credit. In PPT 2000 and PPT97 you can accomplish by
moving your text box off
the top of the slide and then animate it with the crawl animation.

For readability, if it is narrative text, I would recommend that you just
use two slides. Lists work okay with Credits, but paragraphs of text are a
different matter. People read at different speeds and reading for
comprehension is not too successful if the text is constantly moving.
