I would think the easiest way to do this is to convert
your (presumably, static) image (.jpg format?) into a
.gif file, which is the standard format for moving images,
and then embed it into Powerpoint. This can be done by
using software to manipulate the static image into a 
series of slightly moved images, and then combining them
into a single .gif file.

Do you own any software capable of transforming a static
image into an animated one, such as Jasc's Paintshop Pro
or Adobe Photoshop? Would providing instructions about 
how to do this, using one of these programs, suffice,
or do you know someone who can do this for you?

Thanks for the quick response.  I have Photoshop on my computer, but I
have never used it. I also know and have no problem converting images
into .gif or .jpg formats.

Thanks,
Mark

Actually, you might be better off using Imageready which is made by
Adobe but is specifically for gif animation. My Photoshop included
this. Did Imageready come with your Photoshop? And specifically what
version of Photoshop do you have?

It's not a full-on spinning headline, but a quick and simple solution
would be to use either the 'swivel' or 'spiral' animation effects
built into Powerpoint, applying this to the image file inserted into
the presentation
