Hi all. I'm trying to use the crawling text effect having
the text crawl upwards from the bottom.

The problem is, it goes way too fast and I can't seem to
find a speed setting.

Can anyone tell me where that is?
 
If you are using PowerPoint 2000, there really isn't a way to control the
speed. PowerPoint 2002 has an enhanced version of the animation called
"Credits" and it has 3-speed control.

Do you have it set to "crawl" instead of "fly"? If so that's about as good
as it gets with anything older than PPT XP.

It's set to crawl. It's PPT 2000.

if I were to upgrade my system to 2002 would I be able to
convert most of my presentation?
 
I sort of figured that was the case. The only real way to change it is to
upgrade to a newer version of PPT. Keep in mind that PPT 2003 is about to
be released very, very soon.

No conversion would be required. PowerPoint 2000, 2002, and 2003 all share
the same file format.
 
So if I get PPT 2002 on my computer I can open the file
I'm working on in that, and be able to control the speed
of the text?

Thanks!

Yes, you would be able to control the speed of the text in PPT 2002.

If you plan to run the presentation on a previous version of PPT,
though, the text speed won't be backward compatible.

Also, PPT 2003 will be out in October. However, if you purchase PPT
2002, you'll be eligible to upgrade to PPT 2003 for the cost of
shipping.

Folks who buy MS Office XP (2002) products
between 15Aug and 30Nov 2003 can upgrade to
the equivalent Office System 2003 product for
the cost of shipping

I mention this because PPT 2003 will have a new Viewer, and that Viewer
will support the text speed. So, even if you have to run the show on a
different computer, you can use the new Viewer to get around any
limitations the previous versions may have.

Make sense?
