PowerPoint 2003

Introduction

By the end of this module, you should be able to:

• Order objects such as pictures, text boxes, and other images on a slide

Ordering objects

You may want to arrange multiple objects on a slide to overlap them or arrange them in a visually appealing way. PowerPoint allows you to order objects so you have flexibility with how you design each slide.

To order objects:

• Select the object you wish to move.
• Right-click the object.
• Select Order.
• Select one of the four options from the cascading menu, and the object will move to the location you choose:
  • Bring to Front
  • Send to Back
  • Bring Forward
  • Send Backward
  
  
  
  
• Continue to order the objects on your slide until they appear the way you wish.

Challenge!

• Insert a text box into a slide.
• Enter text into the text box.
• Insert a picture into a slide.
• Order the objects so the text box appears over the picture.
• Insert an AutoShape and position it beneath the right corner of the picture.
• Close the presentation without saving the file.
