Scrollbars and text boxes on Mac

[Amado Narvaez]

I am trying to make a scrolling text box on a Macintosh slide show. I
vaguely remember this is possible in Windows using the Control Toolbox,
but I can't find the control toolbox on my Mac. In the VBA editor, the
toolbox is grayed out.

Thanks!

As I recall, ActiveX controls (like scrolling text boxes) aren't supported on
slides in PPT/Mac.

You can only add them to UserForms in the VBA editor; select an existing
UserForm or choose Insert, UserForm and the control toolbox will be available.

Right on the money. Active X Controls don't work on the MAC.
David Marcovitz's book has some excellent alternatives for the MAC side,
though.
