Adding a Ticker
Template Maker lets you display data from various sources including
Microsoft Excel spreadsheets, Access database files, as well as XML files. You
can link a text box object to a single data element that appears when the slide
is played out. Alternatively, the template can display several data items that
are each on air for a specified period of time before being replaced by the next
item.
To specify the date or time in a text box:
1 In PowerPoint, create a text box object and select it.
2 In the General tab of Template Maker, enter a descriptive name for the
text box in the Display Name field.
3 In the Current Slide area, click Slide. The available slide properties
appear.
4 Click the Next (>>) tab to reveal more slide properties and choose Clocks
and Tickers. The TickerList area appears.
5 In the Clocks and Tickers tab, choose Add. The Ticker Properties dialog
box appears.
6 In the General area of the Ticker Properties dialog box, enter a name to
describe the ticker.
