Default Vertical scroll on long image

I don't doubt your word - I just have a curious mind :-). 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...

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.

Hi Chris

I agree with you & Bill having tested in 2003 and 2007 (no
difference between the two). I was just trying to get out of Brian
what he's doing that overcomes the issue as it sure would be handy!

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!

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.

Hi Brian

I can't repo this in 2003 (i.e. I can repo OP's problem) - I

used a
standard slide (height 19.05 cm), added a picture, made it 60

cm,
aligned with top of slide, added crawl from top and I only see

2
slides worth of picture (both in preview and slide show mode).

Are
you doing something different to that?

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.

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.

Default Vertical scroll on long image

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

Default Vertical scroll on long image

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 :-)

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

The only workable solution that I have found is to place the

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.

Hi Brian

I can't repo this in 2003 (i.e. I can repo OP's problem) - I
used a
standard slide (height 19.05 cm), added a picture, made it

60
cm,
aligned with top of slide, added crawl from top and I only

see
2
slides worth of picture (both in preview and slide show

mode).
Are
you doing something different to that?

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

speed.

That's a shame, Chris. I see you're using PP2007. I

What is the vertical height of your image?

Everything that I have tried (eg Motion path, crawl

Default Vertical scroll on long image

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

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 :-)

I'm interested in the fact you are using Photoshop to alter the

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

My question is "What are you doing that's different?" (8-))

Is there something else about the slide setup or are there text

used a plain blank slide.

Since it appears to be a file size issue, I wonder if Microsoft knows what
the limit is - or would they care? (:-))

Default 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

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