The Feature List Layout comprises three sample PowerPoint presentations—one each to create a visual list for 4 features, 5 features, and 6 features.

The Star Wars-credits style is a kind of Crawl animation. In this style, the text crawls from the bottom to the top, as it also does with Crawl. Additionally, the text diminishes in size all the time until it fades into oblivion. This is a really neat effect, and it is possible to accomplish it in PowerPoint 2011 for Mac if you combine multiple animations.
