Help with Scrolling Text

I would like to create Scrolling Text and I am using Office 2003 Pro with
current updates. In Word when I click on the Scrolling Text icon on the Web
Toolbar I get the following error message:

This object was created in MARQUEE.
This application is not available to open this object.
Make sure the application is properly installed and that
it has not bee deleted, moved, or renamed.


I went to control panel and selected to repair the installation, but that
did not help.
What do I need to install and/or do to create scrolling text.

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks
Larry

Hi Larry,

Microsoft turned off that Active-X control (Marquee) in a Windows security update due to potential problems. <Marquee> was a
Microsoft created proprietary extension to HTML for browsers

Some of the workarounds available that work in browsers such as using Javascript or creating a marquee in an animated GIF file,
still won't work within Word as neither of those is supported in a document being viewed in Word, only in a browser.

You can do it if you have the ability to create the scrolling text in a flash object and it will display in Word for you, but
whether it displays for anyone else can depend on their security settings.
