Slide animations

[jburb1]

What I want to do is create a slide with a picture on the right half, and
related text on the left half, and, I want to be able to scroll down the text
lines on the left half--bringing up new lines of text that would not fit in
the original space available on the left side, without disturbing the picture
on the right.

This allows me to keep one picture constant on the right side, and allows me
to slowly scroll down (or have the text move up) the text box on the left to
present more text than the slide has room for in it's fixed dimension.

Can this be done?

(I teach a bible study class, and use Byzantine Icons on the right half as
pictures, and the words explanining the icon or the scripture that relates
to it invariably exceed the space available on the left half of the slide,
hence my need to "scroll" through the words while keeping the Icon constant)

Hope this is clear. Your help is appreciated. john

Good Evening John,

This can be done in a few ways, but in all likelihood, the easiest is the
best.

This can be done using VBA (http://billdilworth.mvps.org/Add-ins.htm#MoveMe)
will show you how to do this. This method requires VBA be installed,
active, and allowed.

This can be done using an ActiveX textbox control with a scroll bar. These,
however, are often considered to be difficult to format and load with text.

You can make use of several sequential motion path animations that will move
the text box up in steps, but sometimes lining up the end-point of one with
the start point of the next is difficult.

Soooo.....

The simplest and probably easiest to edit, is to use multiple slides with
the same icon image on the right and new text on the left. If the slides
look identical (except for the text) the effect isn't scrolling, but still
usable. Just use a smooth fade transition (no animations) and the slides
will look nice.

Bill: Thank you for your prompt reply. Your site with add ins for PPT is
extremely interesting, and I found a couple I intend to use. But, move-me
will probably not be one of them-- your idea of multiple slides seems to be
the smart/simple way to go. I'll begin with that approach, and see if that
doesn't do it for me. If I do try Move Me I promise to let you know...........

you'll have to settle for a sincere "thanks". john
