Thank you...that is a very good start. That works by using the up and down re-order buttons. The only thing though, is that I have a Mac, so Power Point is different on there. I am trying to figure out where to find it on there...different than what I am used to.

Sorry, I never use PowerPoint on a Mac, but you should still be able to hide/show the elements as well as reordering them if you find the Selection Pane (At least, I'm assuming that Microsoft put the same functionality in that window). On a PC, there's an 'eye' icon next to each object which you can click to show/hide it. Check to see if there is something similar on the Mac's version.
