hi

im using powerpoint 2007.

i want to play a full screen picture's slideshow covered by a logo strip and a button strip where i need to place a placeholder text where i can name the project.



in powerpoint i simply insert the upper and the button strips and insert the logo. now back to the slide i create a new slide and insert the picture, all the strips and the logo are covered and no way to bring them to the front.

i found this :

nice trick but it covers also the placeholder text.

any idea?

Unfortunately there's no way to do this. master shapes (except ActivX or video which alway show in front) will always be at the back

how it can be done by a macro? i mean a macro is slide mode that will be reflected among all slides?

Master shapes cannot be brought to the front (even in code). You could create code to copy the shapes and paste them on every slide maybe. Even manually using CTRL V this would be fairly quick.
