I wanted to add text the comes in from the right while a wmv movie is playing in the slide. For some reason I can not get powerpoint to do this. Does anyone know if this is possible?
 
Movies always play on top, so perhaps that is your problem?

You would have to edit the video in some video editing application and add
the text to it. Otherwise, position the text outside of the area where the
video plays. You can't change the fact that the video plays "on top".

Hello,

PowerPoint does not have the capability to display anything in front of a
playing movie (movies will always plays in front regardless of their
z-order position in the slide when edited).

If you (or anyone else reading this message) feel strongly that some kind
feature for allowing other slide contents to be displayed in front of
playing movies, don't forget to send your feedback (in YOUR OWN WORDS,
please) to Microsoft at:
