I think thats a ticker..and I am pretty sure they don't use powerpoint
using some custom animation you could probably make it look like a
screensaver.

you might have better luck searching the web for java ticker/bars

I seem to recall someone (was it Echo?) posting a way to do this a few
days ago. I believe it involved a really wide text box with animation
set to fly in from the right very slowly. I haven't tried it, but it
seemed like a cool idea. --David

That should work if the computer is connected to the net. You can use
Shyam's LiveWeb in conjunction with an html/java based ticker. You will
need to size the browser control added to the slide by LiveWeb to fit your
needs.
 
[CRITICAL UPDATE - Anyone using Office 2003 should install the Critical
Update or Service Pack 1 for Office 2003 as soon as possible. From
PowerPoint, choose "Help -> Check for Updates".]

[TOP ISSUE - Are you having difficulty opening presentations in PowerPoint
that you just created (you can save, but not open)? -

Hello,

PowerPoint does not have the capability that you are looking for without
resorting to VBA, add-ins and/or ActiveX controls..

If you (or anyone else reading this message) feel strongly that PowerPoint
should provide support for dynamically updating (live?) content spanning
multiple slides (e.g. tickers, timers/clocks, etc.), don't forget to send
your feedback (in YOUR OWN WORDS, please) to Microsoft by either:

PREFERRED METHOD:

A) If you are using Microsoft's web-based, online newsreader for Office
communities
(http://www.microsoft.com/office/community/en-us/default.mspx?dg=microsoft.p
ublic.powerpoint), check to see whether or not the suggestion has been
submitted before (Show -> Suggestions for Microsoft) and, if so, add your
vote to the suggestion submission. If the suggestion has not been submitted
before, click on the "New" drop-down menu and choose "Suggestion for
Microsoft" from directly within the newsreader web page.

OR, NEXT BEST METHOD:

B) If you are using another newsreader (such as Microsoft Outlook Express),
submit your suggestion using your web browser at the following address:
http://register.microsoft.com/mswish/suggestion.asp

It's VERY important that, for EACH wish, you describe in detail, WHY it is
important TO YOU that your product suggestion be implemented. A good wish
submssion includes WHAT scenario, work-flow, or end-result is blocked by
not having a specific feature, HOW MUCH time and effort ($$$) is spent
working around a specific limitation of the current product, etc. Remember
that Microsoft receives THOUSANDS of product suggestions every day and we
read each one but, in any given product development cycle, there are ONLY
sufficient resources to address the ones that are MOST IMPORTANT to our
customers so take the extra time to state your case as CLEARLY and
COMPLETELY as possible so that we can FEEL YOUR PAIN.

IMPORTANT: Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of
suggestions).
