transparent image

[will_usher]

Hi,

I'm using Powerpoint for a design presentation, however I need to send
my work to the client with the word 'draft' shown across each page...
but transparent so that the images can be seen through the text.

Is there any way of doing this? The watermark option just lightens the
text but does not make it transparent.

Thanks.

Try using wordart.
Click Insert > Picture > WordArt.
Select the style of your preference. The second one would be recommended.
Click Ok.
Type in "Draft" and ok your way out.
Right click on the wordart, select Format WordArt.
Under Fill, set the transparency to 50%.
Click Ok. Is that what you want.?

Thanks for the word art method.

Good point on the client removing the text. Duh. Will probably have to
save as jpeg's and make a pdf.

By the way... the document can be saved as 'read only' too.

yeh, you have just described the last few hours events. The client
couldn't open the file that prevents modification so I have printed to
PDF. Cheers.

'Print to PDF' is doing weird stuff now though... some ares of the
pages are really low quality even set on 'press quality'.

if I use the Bluebeam printer where is the document saved? I cant find
it.
