Can I insert text and make it invisable? PPT2003

[Talon]

Can I insert text on a slide and make it invisable (but still there if
needed by me)? I want to place my name etc. on the last slide and not
show it in any view unless I need to later prove I did the
presentation on a certain date (or whatever). How would I than make it
appear? I know I can protect it but that's not what I am looking for.
Just a paranoid precaution!

Thanks,
Talon

If you have any images, diagrams or charts on the slides, simply make a
textbox, position the textbox over image/diagram/chart, then send it to the
back (Right click on the textbox, select Order > Send to Back). Alternately,
go to Slide Master (View > Master > Slide Master). Create an additional slide
master, then put your name, and move the textbox away from the slide. Of
course, these are not the foolproof way of doing it.

Another way is digital signatures.
Click Tools > Options.
Select Security tab.
Set a password to modify. This prevent anyone from modify the presentation
and hence removing the digital sig.
Now, click on the digital signatures button, click Add.
Select the displayed digital sig and then ok your way out.
The presentation will be automatically saved.

Thank you Gentlemen for your help. I'll try both to see which works
better for me.

Thanks again,
