How do I scroll a large amount of names

[Guest]

I have a presentaion I am doing that is going to have two slides with about
200 names on each. I created the text box and have them scrolling from the
bottom to top as I want them. The problem is when you run the show it only
will scroll the last 40 or so. If I reduce the font and line spacing I can
get more on the show. to get them all to fit I have to reduce to a 4pt font.
Can anyone help me on this? I have to present this in two days. HELP!!!

Thanks
Derek

Tutorial here: http://www.microsoft.com/education/crawlingcredits.mspx
and

And Troy has a sample star wars credits presentation here:

Finally, if you're still losing text, move your text box off the top of the
slide until nothing shows on the slide and change the animation to Crawl from
the bottom.

I have done all of the steps listed in these tutorials and still am getting
the majority of my text cut off. Any other ideas?

Divide it between 2 text boxes side by side and scroll them together.

It looks like that is what I will have to do. I will end up with about 8
text boxes on one slide. It is a timing nighmare. Thanks for the help
though. I appreciate it.

Alternatively, divide them into 2 text boxes one on top of the other and just
have the second one start After Previous of the first one.
