Scrolling Marquee in Powerpoint

[Kelanen]

Does anyone know how to achieve a (continuously!) scrolling marquee effect on a powerpoint slide? My investigations are leaning towards it not being possible, but I thought I'd check...

The situation is for a branded welcome screen in reception ("Welcome to Altana Mr Smith..." etc), that will be edited regularly by the receptionist. I could easily knock up a webpage with a scrolling marquee, but then they would have to modify this (too technical LOL)and I don't think the marquee object is support by FP Express, so it would need proper FP etc...

Any other bright ideas welcomed... Jonathan Challis

Thanks - that link let me do something close enough!

I was playing around with the VBA code behind the presentation, and trying to loop it that way. This was much simpler! Jonathan Challis
