Covering a picture on a permanent template

Hi, we use a standard template for our company presentations but I now have the problem that I cannot delete the company logo when I n eed to, to represent our other brands... I cant remember what my course tutor did but he had showed me how to cover it up by creating a box with slide background. I have tried 'bringing the box forward/ to teh front etc' but it picks up the writing when I do this and not the background. Please help?

Thank you

RE: Covering a picture on a permanent template

Hi Michelle, thanks for your query. This is a lot easier if your logo is on a white background - you just draw a white rectangle straight over the top of the logo. However, if the logo is over the top of a graphic, you need to find the source copy of that background graphic. It's probably in the slide master. Once you've found it, copy it, go back to the normal slide, paste the whole thing over the top of the main slide and crop the graphic until it only obscures your logo.

The formal way of doing this, and probably the way you should go if you're doing this a lot, is to create a custom slide layout without everything on it exactly the same as your normal logo-d slide...just without the logo on it!

Hope this helps,

Anthony

PowerPoint tip:

Open Presentation as a Show

To run any Presentation (.ppt) as a Show (.pps) When you select the Presentation in its folder, right click the icon and (****.pps) and then choose Show.
Shows (.pps) run in Slide Show view only, when the show ends or you press Esc, PowerPoint closes. Much more professional than going into a folder hunting for your presentation, opening PowerPoint and then switching to Slide Show View.
