Vertical scroll on long image
I think we played with this a few years ago and decided it was the whim of
the universe. The video card, video RAM, available system RAM, and processor speed were all involved, if I remember correctly. I checked and the code does seem to work well in 2007.

Hi Bill,
I too can get your code to work successfully in PPT2007 and have modified it to suit my specific needs. But .... In PPT 2000 the image scrolls across its full height in about 4 or so seconds. When the same code is run in PPT2007 it takes over 60 seconds - even when increasng the step from 1 to 5 or more. Any suggestions on overcoming that? cheers Chris "Bill Dilworth" wrote in message ...

Hi Lucy,
Very interesting - but didn't work for me! I created a 72dpi version of the image using PaintShop Pro v7 (that's all I've got!) and substituted it for the larger one. I also tried compressing the original image down to 96dpi in PPT 2007. Applying a Credit animation, there is no difference between all three - ie they all get cropped at the same place. cheers Chris "Lucy Thomson" wrote in message ... And received with thanks, Brian.

The file works absolutely fine here and Brian mentioned in his e-mail that he had saved the image at 72dpi in Photoshop. I did a little experimenting of my own and discovered if I saved the image I had been using unsuccessfully at 72 dpi in Photoshop Elements, then it suddenly works! Many thanks for your perseverance Brian. I've learnt a neat new trick :-) Lucy -- Lucy Thomson PowerPoint MVP MOS Master Instructor www.aneasiertomorrow.com.au . uk wrote in message ...

How about you send me the slide? lucyATaneasiertomorrowDOTcomDOTau I'm interested in the fact you are using Photoshop to alter the image and then dragging into PowerPoint. But then you are the one *without* the problem rather than the other way around... Lucy -- Lucy Thomson PowerPoint MVP MOS Master Instructor www.aneasiertomorrow.com.au . uk wrote in message ... Puzzled look As I previously said, but then I tried again. This time I took a picture in Photoshop and changed the height to 150cm (given that the standard slide height is 19.5cm). I dragged it into a PP2003 blank slide, giving me a very tall image. Set it to crawl in from the bottom, timing 20 seconds. Moved the image right off the top of the slide. Ran the 'slide show' and off it went, from bottom and out at the top. My question is "What are you doing that's different?" (8-)) Is there something else about the slide setup or are there text boxes. I used a plain blank slide. Brian.

I was just trying to get out of Brian what he's doing that overcomes the issue as it sure would be handy! Lucy -- Lucy Thomson PowerPoint MVP MOS Master Instructor www.aneasiertomorrow.com.au "Chris Watts" wrote in message ... I tried an experiment by positioning four screen-sized images vertically above each other. I then set a custom animation on each one of credits and starting with previous. However I positioned this set of images it would only scroll over a height of three image-heights in total - any more was cropped.. I think that Bill Dillworth. is accurate in saying that PPT only renders the visible area of screen plus one screen's worth above and one below the visible area (and presumably sideways too) - and will then only permit you to move about that image area. Hope my description is understandable. Using PPT2007. The only workable solution that I have found is to place the image in a Microsoft Form Frame, add scroll-bars and move around the large image using them. All sorts of other issues arise, of course! cheers Chris - the OP. "Lucy Thomson" wrote in message ... Ok, I did that exactly and I still don't get the whole image, I just get the bottom part. This is in both 2003 and 2007. shrug Lucy -- Lucy Thomson PowerPoint MVP MOS Master Instructor www.aneasiertomorrow.com.au . uk wrote in message ... I crawled in from the bottom and pushed the image right off and clear of the TOP of the slide, so I guess that if you crawl in from the top you should push the image right off the BOTTOM of the slide.

Are you doing something different to that? Lucy -- Lucy Thomson PowerPoint MVP MOS Master Instructor www.aneasiertomorrow.com.au . uk wrote in message ... I've just tried a very tall image (over 5x height) in PP2003, used crawl, pushed the image off the top of the screen and it worked perfectly. I then stretched the image one extra screen height and tested it; then another stretch and another and another. Dunno what the final image height was, but it worked on each occasion. As the image grew, I have to increase the time to make it a reasonable speed. Brian.

I see you're using PP2007. I tested it using PP2003, pushing the image right off the top out of sight and it works well, so perhaps it's one of the quirks of PP2007. What is the vertical height of your image? Brian. In article , (Chris Watts) wrote: *From:* "Chris Watts" *Date:* Wed, 10 Jun 2009 10:57:25 +0100 Thanks Brian. It crops off the top half of the image. Wherever I position the image vertically, PPT only seems to recognise a maximum length. cheers Chris . uk wrote in message ... Try Crawl In (as you have done) but then move the whole image off the top of the screen. Test it and adjust speed to suit. Brian.

Everything that I have tried (eg Motion path, crawl in, ascend) does scroll but not for the whole height of the image - it either crops off the top or bottom as if it didn't exist. It looks as if these effects have a height limit. Is that so? Is the a way around it? TIA cheers Chris |

Vertical scroll on long image
I have adapted some VBA code originally written by Bill Dilworrh (many
thanks to you Bill) that achieves pretty much what I need. The code is below - and it works, even if rather slowly, in PPT 2007. I wish to add some code so that I can interupt the scrolling with a mouse click - and then restart it with another mouse click.. When I add the commented-out line If MouseButtons.Left = True Then GoTo Pause all that happens is that the code runs and moves the image up only one step and then stops with no action from me. What am I doing wrong? cheers Chris ====================== Sub MoveUp(oShp As Shape) 'Determine the endpoint for the motion. 'In this case when the bottom edge of the image lines _ up with starting top of the image. Endpoint = oShp.Top - oShp.Height 'Define amount to move image Shift = 20 Offset = 475 While oShp.Top Endpoint + Offset 'Move the picture a little upwards oShp.Top = oShp.Top - Shift 'Re-render the screen DoEvents ' If MouseButtons.Left = True Then GoTo Pause 'Loop back if not done Wend Pause: End Sub ========================== "Chris Watts" wrote in message ...

Where did the MouseButtons.Left code come from? It's not native to PowerPoint.
