RE: Powerpoint 2003

Hi Elizabeth,

Thank you for your question.

If you go to VIEW, then Master and then Slide Master. use Word Art to produce the Draft text and position where you want it on the slide. Right click over the Word art and choose Format Wordart.

The text you create on the Slide master will apppear on all slides apart from the Title Master.

Change the fill colour if you need to and the line colour and then set the transparency level down to between 80 and 95%.

I hope this answers your question.

Regards

Simon

Powerpoint tip:

Display pictures inside shapes

Here is a suggestion for adding a professional touch to your presentations: displaying pictures within shapes. This can look particularly good if you use pictures within circles or stars.

To create this effect, draw a shape on your slide from the Drawing toolbar.

Click on the Fill Color button found on the Draw Toolbar usually found at the bottom of the screen; or alternatively right-click on the shape and select 'Format Autoshape'.

Select the Fill Effects option then the Picture tab. Use the 'Select picture' button to find the picture on your computer, then click Insert. Selecting the 'Lock picture aspect ratio' helps to keep the picture in proportion.
