What version of PowerPoint are you using? The solution differs depending on
your answer. In 97 or 2000, it would be "Crawl" and in 2002 or 2003 it
would be and Entrance animation called "Credits".

Kathy,
I've hit this one before. What I do to work around the problem is to split
the names into two (or three) boxes, lay them over top of each other, and
animate them to run one after the other. It turns out that there is a limit
to how far the box can scroll, so you run into problems if the list is too
long.

Hi Sonia,
I just saw this discussion - I really hope you might be able to help me

out as I am in a bit of a time crunch, and have asked everyone I know for
help..with no success.

I, too, am trying to format rolling credits. I am using Power Point 2003.

The text box seems to let me enter an unlimited number of names, yet when I
play the slide show, only half of what I have entered scrolls through. I
have played with the timing, margins, font size.. But I am a determined
"novice".

Hi Maggie,

As I understand that you are looking for rolling credits in PPT

I believe u are using PPT XP /2003

Please follow the following steps

1. In the slide, Type the text that you want to roll.
2. Select the text and right click and select custom animation.
3. You will get a new window named as custom animation.
4. Click on Add Effect button
5. Select entrance and select more effects
6. Under exciting category select Credits

Please try these steps and revert back

You mistakenly replied to me via email. Please keep a conversation within
the newsgroup where everyone can benefit from it.

You also mention that you are using PowerPoint on a Mac, while most people
here are PC users. There is a Macintosh newsgroup where you can post your
question if the PC answers don't help you.

Sorry you received an email before I figured out how to reply to this site. I am on a PC, not a Mac, and am hoping that Kathy J's suggestions will take care of my needs. Please try to be patient with the novices. After all, isn't that what this forum is all about?

'Twasn't you. I was replying to Maggie. The email note that I received was
sent by Magdalena and said, "I am using Powerpoint:mac v.X." An email
can't be accidentally sent to me from here because the address I use is a
fake, designed to protect me from the spam harvesters.

Hi ...

I wonder if anyone can help me, or even Maggie further ??
I have followed all the instructions (very helpful Thanks you all) and

have now got the text to scroll like Star Wars.

However, like Maggie it seems to go too quick and some sets of text are difficult to read.
Does anyone know a way of slowing it down ?
(I am using ppt 2000)

Many thanks in advance,

Les
