Credits animation with vertical text

[Guest]

Hi, I need to have a movie credits effect with the text in the vertical
(rotated 90 degrees) position. (The wide-screen monitor will be turned on
it's side and text will need to scroll top to bottom). The text will be a
series of persons' names and may need to loop endlessly. I have tried several
animations and searched the FAQs but can not find the right combination.
Thanks for any help you can give.

First you will want your slide's Page Setup to match the display size (for
its vertical orientation). Find out the resolution of the wide-screen
monitor and adjust PPT's page size to match (you will need to convert the
pixel size of the display to inches for PPT).

The easiest way to animate will be to create a series of text boxes with
portions of list (of names). Position all off the top of the slide and
animate with a FLY IN. Set all to be WITH PREVIOUS. Using the advanced
timeline make the 2nd text box begin animating slightly before end of 1st
one, overlap 3rd and 2nd, 4th and 3rd, etc. You can also adjust the FLY IN
speed in the advanced timeline.

The "Fly In" has each name scroll across previous names. Do I need a text box
for each name? I have 11,000 names to put in. The "Credits" animation does
exactly what I need..except I can't get it to work scrolling right to left
with text rotated 90 degrees. (turn your desktop monitor on its side and have
text scroll top to bottom) Am I missing somthing here?

Also I am sorry about the second post. A message from Microsoft said that
the first one had an error and to try again!
