slide template question

[Paul]

Hi I have a powerpoint presentation that uses a template with some images. I
want to remove this image for only 2 of the slides but when I go to master
view and remove the images it takes them off all of the slides. Just
wondering if there is an easy way to accomplish this?
thanks.

There is a couple of ways you can do this On the slides you want to cover up
the picture just put an autoshape over the whole slide, then put everything
else on top of that autoshape on that slide. Or, you can got into your Slide
Master and add the background image to the Slide Master and not the Title
Master then when ever you want a slide without a background image, just
insert a new title master. If you ue the later method, don't forget to save
your template as a template file (.pot) so that you can use it in the
future.

Hi Micheal, thanks for the information, ended up using the first method you
described, with a white bitmapfile and just covered the images and then used
the order/send to back to place items on the blank image.

How about the "omit master background graphics" function in the Background
menu?

This omits the master graphics only from the selected slide. It looks like a
simpler and neater approach.
1) It takes fewer actions to accomplish
2) It reduces the number of items on the slide
3) It is easy to reverse.

Don't need a bitmap file. You can keep the filesize down by using the
autoshapes built into PowerPoint
