Hi,

I am doing a multimedia presentation using PP and wanted to have text on
slides in the same way they used to put speech dialog in the old Laurel and
Hardy films, where there is a lot of scratching and imperfection on the
slide and the text moves very slightly - like an old silent movie. Is there
some sort of effect that can do this? Any ideas

Many thanks

Its not clear if you want the whole slide to have this effect, or just a
text box on the slide, but one quick idea is to use Microsoft Movie Maker
(free from MS website if you have Win XP) to create a title video clip -
under "2. Edit Movie", on use the "Make title and credits" option, and then
apply "Film Age - Older" to the clip. You can insert the resulting clip onto
the slide, and/or re-size it to cover the whole slide, depending upon the
desired result.

While this process will work and the results look good, albeit you have to
delve into Movie Maker to get them, it might be tedious if you want to make
lots of these title/dialog clips.

I don't think any existing PowerPoint animation effect will get even a
similar result.

Best of luck.
 
Nice one, Bruce ... thanks!
