i am looking into a method to run a tickertape in a powerpoint presentation
(ticker tape = text running from right to left at the bottom of the screen)

but this has to be continiuosly during all slides without
interupting/restarting.

computer with a hardware image mixer.

But i am looking for a 1 computersolution.

In PowerPoint 2002/XP and 2003,
Click View > Master > Slide Master.
Create a textbox on the slide master. Type the text in the textbox that you
want it to run. Drag the textbox out of the slide, to the left side of the
slide.
Now, click Slide Show > Custom Animation.
Click Add effect > Entrance > Fly In.
Set the start to "With Previous", the direction to "From Right" and speed to
"slow" (you can adjust this to your preference).
Double click on the fly in effect to bring up the effect options dialog box.
Click on timing tab.
Click on the repeat dropdown field, and select "Until End of Slide".
Ok your way out.

Holler back if you need more help.

Hi Toh,

Sorry for getting back so late. I hope this reply will reach you.
I tried your sugestions. But
I think I need to give you more info about my challenge
1. I want to simulate a tickertape
2. it has about 3000 words or 17000 characters
3. it must run smootly from slide 1 to Slide 20, without interuption. It may
start over again, but it may not restart on each slide

now we made a video of the tickertape and wipe it with our PPT computer into
the projector. But its a bit overdone, It requires an expensive seamless data
mixer.
