Completely transparent PowerPoint Slide

[lespaul]

How can I create a completely transparent slide? I am adding custom animation to a my slides and will be running another program at the same time. I want the other program to be visible behind the powerpoint presentation.

So the other program is a picture slide show. The powerpoint show is a series of slides with statistical information. We want to run the picture show and have the stats "fly" over the pictures. I can do all the flying, but unless the slides are transparent, I can't see the picture show behind it.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Have you met Hardy Heron?

I'm assuming the picture slide show is not powerpoint. Can you insert it has an object on the slide and then have the stats flying around?
I know you can insert stuff like Flash. Maybe you can convert it to a flash file, insert and have your animation over it.

no it's not a powerpoint, it's a movie of the pictures....and I want my powerpoint slides to play like credits over the movie.

And how will you synchronize them?

I agree with fneily, suck your movie into PowerPoint and animate graphics over that.

Or, use one of the move-maker programs to add actual titles to your movie.

They really don't need to be synchronized. We have an external device that records whatever is on the monitor. I want to run both programs on the same monitor and record them. If the powerpoint had transparent slides, then the text from the slide could fly in and fly out and the picture show could still be seen.

I will get with the guy doing the picture movie and see what other options we can come up with. I just didn't think having an "invisble" slide would be that difficult to do!

Thanks for the suggestions!
