How do I add transparency to 5 pictures on one page?

[GG3d]

I want to make 5 pictures assembled on one page more transparent for a
background. How do I do it in Powerpoint, or OneNote, or Visio. Visio does
not work with fader slider because I think it will not recognise the "page"
as one picture.

Hello,

Well I can only speak for Visio....my first approach would be to add all of
the shapes to a layer and then set the layer's transparency, however this
doesn't appear to work with images as far as I can see. So a more manual
approach would be to set the transprency of each image manually via (Format
/ Picture / Image Control [tab] / Transparency).

If you're interested this just writes to a 'Transparency' cell in the
ShapeSheet in the Image Properties section so you easily link this cell (in
each image) to a global cell in the respective page or document that would
allow you to subsequently change all the images transparency level from one
place. If you've not come across the ShapeSheet before, you might want to
have a look at this link:

Hope that helps.
