Hi,

Using Powerpoint 2003, is it now possible to have live video from a webcam
or videocam as background and overlay the powerpoint text as foreground.

If not, can someone point me to a simple overlay software solution ?

Thanks in advance

Hello,

PowerPoint 2003 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:

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).d be a single suggestion (not a list of suggestions).
