Overlaying pages of text on top of one another (fanned out)

G

Guest

I desperately need to prepare one slide if possible displaying multiple Word
documents with text fanned out one on top of the other slanted right. Is
this done via Draw, Order, Bring to Front or Back on one slide or something
else? I have 6 separate text docs in Word so can I fan them down on one
slide, rehearsed timing or can this only be done using six separate slides?
I thank you so much for your assistance. Tonight I will stop at the library
to get a Users Guide Manual as my company does not have one. Any suggestions
on the best one for PPT 2002?

Did you get this worked out, or could you still use help with it?

Sorry, it seems we all missed it last week.

Yes, still require assistance. I am working with Custom Animations; but do
not know if this is the best thing to use. Any other suggestions? Boss
departs for home office this Friday. Much thanks. Bridge Erector Gal

I think custom animations will be your best bet.

You can use Draw|Order to move one Word document above or behind another so
it shows the way you want it to when you animate it.

When I've had to do this kind of thing (documents fanned out) in the past,
I've usually found it easiest to take screen shots of the Word documents,
save those as images, and use Insert|Picture|From File to insert the pictures
of the docs onto my slide. Then I rotate each of the images a little so they
"fan," and then I add custom animation to each.

Holler if you need assistance with any of the specifics.
