There's no simple way to do this. Animations cannot play across slides. If you put the animation on all slides (or master) then it will restart when the slide changes which is not what you need.



The only (clumsy) workaround I can think of:

Make a slide the normal width but with height set as low as possible (1 inch)
Add the whole animation stretching the text box off slide to the right. When happy save as video (wmv) and then insert this video onto the first main slide.

In the animation pane change the animation to PLAY - with previous (not triggered) and in effect options set stop playing to after 999 slides.

You will need to experiment to get it looking half decent!

Crawl is similar to Fly In set to very slow but not exactly the same.
