newbie question

[FH]

i have PP 2002 and was wondering if it is possible to have moving text like
you see in the (in the beginning) of first Star Wars movie? (hope someone
understands what i'm asking)... and if not, how can it be done?

Echo's site has a Star Wars Credits sample here. See if it helps:

After opening the ppt file,
Click Slide Show > Custom Animation.
Each textbox contains 3 effects.
An upward Motion Path, an Emphasis Shrink to 50%, and an Exit Fade animation.

To create your own star wars credit,
click on a textbox, then add these three effects.
Next, have all the effects to start "With Previous".
If you want to follow the sample closely,
set the motion path to 7.8 seconds, set the shrink and fade effects to 6
seconds.

You will need to play around with the delay part though.
To modify the delay, double click on the effect, then select Timing tab.

Also there is another example of star wars credits at
http://www.tlccreative.com/ppt_tutorials.htm

Save that file to your harddrive and then choose Slide Show | Custom
Animation so you can see the animation task pane.
