gtthbfnfnhy,

Thanks for the help with this. I gave it a good try with the directions that you gave, and sadly I have to report that it didn't work. When I paste the new image onto the slide, the shape with the text in it still goes behind the image.

I was really excited to see your reply, I was really hoping that this one was going to work. Thanks again...will just have to keep working on it for now.

I don't know how hard this would be for you to do with your slides but it will work. If the new image you are using is on your computer, you can put your text box in and then add your image via the format background option and then the text box will stay in front. You can do your next image without removing the previous one. I hope that won't be much harder than copy and paste. Let me know please if this method works for your presentation.

I'm not sure that would really work for this either. This is a presentation that is used by multiple people and I think that saving the images would actually make it take quite a bit longer than it does now. The problem that I run into is that we sometimes have to do this presentation as quickly as possible and having to save each of the images would add extra time.

I'm starting to think that this may be a lost cause and we may just have to keep right clicking and selecting send to back.

Thanks again for your help.
