Large image scrolling

I have an image that's 3 times wider than the slide (30w
x 8h). I made the image to scroll by using the path, but
is there a way to make the image to pause and continue
scrolling when I click on the mouse? Is there a way to
pan (go back and forth) the image? Is this something that
can be done in Producer? Please help!
 
I don't think there's any direct way to scroll a large image in PPT but I'd bet
that Shyam's Live Web addin would allow you to create a small HTML page that
references the image and then to display the HTML page within PowerPoint.

Look for the addin on http://www.mvps.org/skp/

Hello,

PowerPoint does not have the specific slide show capability that you are
looking for.

If you (or anyone else reading this message) feel strongly that PowerPoint
should have a specific animation effect (or be able to create a specific
effect by combining others and without having to resort to VBA or add-ins),
don't forget to send your feedback (in YOUR OWN WORDS, please) to Microsoft
at:

As with all product suggestions, it's important that you not just state
your wish but also WHY it is important to you that your product suggestion
be implemented by Microsoft. 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.

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

Sure, you can do dat.

But, guess what. It requires a pair of VBA Macros (ignores the groans from
the crowd).


You gonna get a quick and dirty version here so's buckle in and hold on.


1) Insert the picture and allow it to flow over the sides of the slide
2) Find out the name of the object
3) If you need it, the Rename add-in is very good for this
4) Click View | Toolbars | Controls
5) Select the Spin Tool
6) Place it across the bottom of the slide
7) Right click on the control
8) Select Properties
9) Adjust the following properties:
Delay = 1
Min = -99999
Max = 99999
10) Place it across the bottom of the slide
11) Paste the code below into the VBE
12) Modify the code -- replace 'Picture 4' with you object's name.
13) Play with the property of the Spin tool

Sit back and be amazed....


<<<<<<<<< Code Begins Here >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Option Explicit

Private Sub SpinButton1_SpinDown()
With ActivePresentation.Slides _
(SlideShowWindows(1).View. _
CurrentShowPosition).Shapes _
("Picture 4")
.Left = .Left - 5
End With
DoEvents
End Sub

Private Sub SpinButton1_SpinUp()

(SlideShowWindows(1).View. _
CurrentShowPosition).Shapes _
("Picture 4")
.Left = .Left + 5
End With
DoEvents
End Sub

You can further modify the code and properties to keep the picture from
being moved completely off the screen or to take larger or smaller movement
steps.

THANK YOU so much for the help! I was able to follow all
your steps here except #2. How do I find out my object
name so I can change it in the code? THANKS!
 
OK, so it isn't amazing. But it works and isn't too complex.

Whaddaya mean? I think it IS an amazingly neat, outa the box use of the
control! Sorry if that was open to misinterpretation.
 
Goto

Find the Rename add-in and download and install it. This the easiest way to
find the name of an object. Select it and the name appears in the pop-up
menu box.

Hi Everyone,

Really new here and no idea about VBA...but trying to learn. Basically I have an image which is too large in height for a single slide in PowerPoint. Ideally i would likve to use VBA to scroll the image up and down. So I used the following code (found here) together with the Spin Control also mentioned in this thread.

Option Explicit
> >
> >Private Sub SpinButton1_SpinDown()
> > With ActivePresentation.Slides _
> > (SlideShowWindows(1).View. _
> > CurrentShowPosition).Shapes _
> > ("Picture 4")
> > .Left = .Left - 5
> > End With
> > DoEvents
> >End Sub
> >
> >Private Sub SpinButton1_SpinUp()
> > With ActivePresentation.Slides _
> > (SlideShowWindows(1).View. _
> > CurrentShowPosition).Shapes _
> > ("Picture 4")
> > .Left = .Left + 5
> > End With
> > DoEvents
> >End Sub


However this scrolls the image from left to right and vice versa. Any ideas on what I need to change to allow me to scroll up and down.

many thanks in advance
