E Echo S Nov 3, 2006 #2 Click the WordArt icon on the drawing toolbar. Choose a style of WordArt. Probably the 2nd one in the top row would be a good choice. Hit OK. Type the word Confidential. Hit OK. In the WordArt toolbar, click "recolor." In the Format WordArt dialog, change the fill color to light gray. Click OK. Size the word by dragging the white size handles at the corners. Drag the yellow diamond to change the slant if you wish. Make sure the slide thumbnail pane to the left of the slide workspace is showing. If it's not, hit View|Normal (Restore Panes). Ctrl+C to copy the WordArt, then View|Master|Slide Master to go to slide master view. Ctrl+V to paste the WordArt on your slide master. Do the same on any title masters and any other slide masters as appropriate. View|Normal and delete the original WordArt from the slide.

G Guest Nov 4, 2006 #3 A slight twist on Echo's method which is harder to remove Start with a blank layout slide with the chosen background. Insert the word art as Echo says Save as > save as type jpeg - current slide only On the master change the background to the jpeg you just made -- Did that answer the question / help? _____________________________ John Wilson Microsoft Certified Office Specialist http://www.technologytrish.co.uk/ppttipshome.html
