id="mod_10122995"> This hub will explain how to create the scrolling text credits from the Star Wars movies in your PowerPoint presentation. To create the Star Wars credits we will use different animation effects simultaneously.

Insert the Text
Before we apply any animation we need to insert a text box with the text we want to use.

1. Click Insert on the Ribbon and click Text Box

2. Click on the slide to place the text box

3. Type the text you want to use for the credits

The text box should now be positioned centrally and just off the bottom of the slide.

1. Select the text box

2. Click the Center button in the Paragraph group of the Home tab to centre the text within the box

3. Click the Arrange button in the Drawing group on the Home tab, select Align and then Align Center. This will align the text box in the centre of the slide

Now click and drag the text box down the screen and place it just off the bottom of the slide. Hold down the Shift key whilst dragging to keep in aligned centrally
