There are no native scroll bars within PowerPoint, but if this is absolutely
needed, than a crude substitute can be rigged that will run in the viewer.
It is not for the faint of heart or those with imminent deadlines. Because
you have stipulated that the viewer is to be used and the viewer does not
support VBA, a whole wide range of simple options are not available. (There
is an add-in that allows for zooming in on and scrolling around a picture,
but this also will not run in the viewer.)
This is not simple and is not quick, but read on if you gotta, gotta have
it. You must have either PowerPoint 2002 or 2003 to build this.
1) On you slide create a series of rectangles down the one side of the
slide.
2) Add any animation to each of the rectangles in turn, note the name of
that rectangle, and then remove the animation. This step is done only to
get the names of the rectangles.
3) For the center box
select the picture and custom animations
add a small motion path that ends in the center of the picture
select the timing options for the animation and choose trigger
change the trigger to the name of the center rectangle
4) For the rectangle directly above the center one
select the picture and custom animations
add a motion path upwards a little bit
select the timing options and choose trigger
change the trigger to the name of the rectangle 1 up from the center
5) For each of the other rectangles above the on in step 4
select the picture and custom animations
add a motion path from the end point of the previous one, to a new
point above it.
select the timing option and choose trigger
change the trigger to the name of the rectangle 1 up from the last
one
6) Repeat this process on each of the rectangles going down
7) Making it prettier
You can add animations that will keep only the center rectangle and
the next rectangle in secession visible and tie these to the triggers you
have created.
If I was not clear (I know what I meant even if it isn't what I said) or you
need additional help, post back.
