Clearly we have some utter MS Office gurus in this place.....SO....here's one for you...

Simple powerpoint file - a large JPG imported, and I want to scroll the JPG up (or more often in a MER case.....along) for added OOoooo factor. You can see the custom animation I've added, a simple motion path upward.....but there's a problem
Try playing the presentation
click - image fades on......lovely.
click - image begins to scroll along.....lovely - but watch what happens at about the point where what was at the bottom of the screen reaches the top.....BAM...the image stops showing - it'll keep scrolling for the duration of the custom anim - but it gives up trying to show the image.
I've got a fairly powerfull laptop here, 2 gig of ram in it...SURELY I should be able to scroll an image like that without Powerpoint just throwing its hands in the air and giving up?
Any pointers to solve THAT one..
What I often have to end up doing is just showing little bits of large images, and that...well....SUCKS I mean really, I should be able to scroll say a 4000 x 768 pixel image shouldn't I ?
