SYMPTOMS
When you use Microsoft Excel or Microsoft PowerPoint to open an HTML document that contains a  element, the element is displayed as plain text rather than the scrolling marquee that appears in Microsoft Word.



CAUSE
Excel 2000 and PowerPoint 2000 do not support the  element.



WORKAROUND
In PowerPoint 2000, you may be able to achieve the effect you want by using built-in animation effects.



MORE INFORMATION
Microsoft Office 2000 documents support a number of HTML elements, particularly hyperlinks, but only Word supports scrolling marquees; Excel and PowerPoint do not.
