How to bring to front using slide master in PowerPoint

[AnneMD]

I created a WordArt in PowerPoint's slide master but can't get it to the
front. It's partly hidden by the images on many slides. When in Side Mster, I
click on the WordArt, then choose "Bring to Front" but it's not working as a
master. Any other way to do it? I can't take the time to do it manually with
170 slides. I'm using MS Office Small Business Edition 2003.
Thanks, Anne

Hi Anne

I'm afraid that's the way it's designed (AFAIK) - masters work like the
'background' for the slide so you cannot select elements and re-order
them/delete them etc.

Is there any way you can move/resize the WordArt on the master or the images
that are blocking it? The only other thing I can suggest is to copy and paste
the WordArt from the Master onto the affected slides - it should position
itself in the right place at least. Not ideal I know.

Exactly as Lucy says.

Copy and paste is probably the way to do it. If there are not too many
slides try ctrl V then pagedown repeatedly to speed things up or if there are
a lot try this vba snippet after placing the first "logo" and selecting it.
It will paste all the other slides automatically

Sub pasteall()
Dim osld As Slide
On Error GoTo ErrHandler
ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange.Cut
For Each osld In ActivePresentation.Slides
osld.Shapes.Paste
Next osld
Exit Sub
ErrHandler:
MsgBox "Error! Maybe you didn't select anything?"
End Sub

Hey John

Probably a blonde question but what is osld? You know I would like to
understand this whole VBA thing

Thank you! Your information will save me fruitless experimenting. If I have
time, I'll do the copy and paste. Anne

Thanks for the detailed information. I don't understand all the descriptors
but will give it a try when I have a chance. Maybe with the screen open in
front of me, it will become clear. Anne
