Any Idea How I Can Recreate This Using Powerpoint?

I would like to recreate this graphic using PowerPoint. Of course I would use a different background image but I'm stumped as how to do the cutout look.

Thanks!

I'd be pretty sure this was done in 2013 (2014 Mac) where you can use the Merge Shapes tool on text.

In 2010 / 2011 the equivalent tool (Combine Shapes) is well hidden and also does not work with text.

I'm not real PowerPoint proficient but I would like to explore your suggestion. Any idea where I could locate some additional info or video on "merge shapes tool on text."

Actually... I found an explanation and you were absolutely RIGHT! It is a "Merge Shapes" technique.

Thanks again and I appreciate you steering me in the right direction!

Well I guess I spoke a little too soon...

I can get the see through text effect but I can't seem to get the clear see through line border effect.

Ideas?
