How do I make an object go to the background

[Matthew.Gower]

I am using PowerPoint 2003 and I would like to make a picture or a text go to
the background so that it cannot be edited. Almost like a header or footer.

Matthew,
Go to View - Master - Slide master - Format - Background - fill effects -
picture tab - browse - select - insert the picture. That will insert the
image as a background in all the slides.
If you only want it on one particular slide you can either make a second
master and apply that to the one slide or change the background of the slide
as indicated above and choosing apply instead of apply to all.

 

[John Wilson]

Couple of ways

Put the text etc on a second master and use this only for that slide. (when
you apply the master right click and choose apply to selection)

Create the elements on a slide that you want to "lock" save as > save as
type jpeg > current slide only then use the picture as the background (format

background> fill effects > picture)
