Scrolling text using animation credits stops early?

M

MikeN2AV

I am trying to scroll a list of text using the animation credits feature.
However, the scrolling stops before it reaches the bottom of the list. My
list is about 150 lines and it is stoping at about 30. Is this a limitation
or have I done something wrong.

TIA

If the text exceeded the slide area, try using Fly In instead.
To do so, click Add Effect > Entrance > Crawl In / Fly In.
Double click on the crawl in / fly in effect, click Text Animation tab.
Under Group text, click on the dropdown and ensure that "As one object" is
selected. If not, select it and click OK.
Now, select the textbox, move it out of the slide so that it can't be seen
on the slide, and place it above the slide.

Here's a similar tutorial that you can check out:

credits will only scroll (about) a slides worth of information.

You could try having several pages of infoermation and set suitable delays
for them to scroll.
