I want to know how I can overlay slides, in the same
fashion it is done with overheads.

Hi Joe,
Overheads, used to love them in High School because it meant the teach
(after staring into the bright light) couldn't see what we were doing.

There are 2 methods to do this, Joe. The first is to use animations to make
each of the layers appear. The exact step-by-step commands will vary by
PowerPoint version, so it is always helpful to know which one you will be
using.
But, the basics for method one are:
The background is created and placed on the slide.
Add a new textbox/picture/whatever and change it to suit your needs.
If you have more that one object on the layer, group them together
Apply an animation to make the layer appear.
Repeat the last three steps for each new layer.
With this method, you will see the completed slide while in the edit mode,
but when showing the PowerPoint presentation, the layers will build. If you
are using PowerPoint 2002 or 2003, you can also apply 'exit animations' to
remove a layer when you are done with it.
Method 2 makes for a larger show, but may be easier to understand.
Make the first slide how you want the background to look. Insert a
duplicate slide (there is a command for this under Insert | Duplicate slide)
and add elements to it. This will become the 'background and layer one'
slide. Continue to add duplicate slides and elements as you build or remove
the layers.
Hope this gets you started. Post back if I didn't explain this well.

Hello Joe,
It's an interesting idea... the option to specify that a slide does not
have any background (transparent background) and that, instead of replacing
the previously viewed slide, it should simply "overlay" it's contents on
top of the slide that is already being displayed (interesting challenge).
When you submit this suggestion(?) it will be very interesting to see why
this capability is important to you...
If you (or anyone else reading this message) think that PowerPoint provide
a way "overlaying" one slide on top of another during slide show, don't
forget to send your feedback to Microsoft at:
http://register.microsoft.com/mswish/suggestion.asp
As with all product suggestions, it's important that you not just state
your wish but also WHY it is important to you that your product suggestion
be implemented by Microsoft. Microsoft receives thousands of product
suggestions every day and we read each one but, in any given product
development cycle, there are only sufficient resources to address the ones
that are most important to our customers so take the extra time to state
your case as clearly and completely as possible.
IMPORTANT: Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of
suggestions)
