Text as single line

[Guest]

You know how sometimes you have text going on multiple lines on a textbox?
Can I fix that on PowerPoint so that way my text is going all in one line,
not in more than one line after another?

A text box will only auto grow to be about 2 screen wide. You can turn off
the auto-word-wrap by selecting the textbox (not the text inside it) then
selecting Format => Textbox => (tab) Textbox => and unselecting the Word
Wrap option.

Thanks! That helped. Now, I have another problem. See I have text flying from
the right to the left by using a "cutom animation" of fly from the right and
exit to the left, if you know what I mean. However, when I preview it on a
full slide, the text goes by screen very shaky as if it were in an
earthquake, very unstable. Do you think this is because I have limited amount
of space on my computer and a crappy graphics card? Or can this problem be
fixed?

Yes, I would guess that it is because of a low powered machine. You can try
running the presentation with absolutely nothing else running and see if
that helps. A second thing you can do is to do some disk clean up and that
PPT is running in the most optimized way. For some hints on that, check out
this entry from the PPT FAQ:
Do this before using PowerPoint seriously
http://www.rdpslides.com/pptfaq/FAQ00034.htm

You can also see if it is better if you run the presentation a second time.
(First time through, PPT is fighting with itself for resources since it is
pre-loading the next slide while playing the current one.)
