Adding txt to photo slides in Power Point

[Guest]

How can I add same text to every slide in a Power Point presentation in a
custom-set position near the lower right hand corner (i.e., Photo by JT
Whitmer)?

Go to View-Slide Master. Insert Picture-from clipart or file whatever. It
will insert it in the middle of the slide pull it to the bottom right of the
footer or just above the footer. Click Close on the Slide Master toolbar and
view it. If this is not positioned correctley simply follow the steps again
View-Slide Master and repositioned until you are happy with it. This will
then show up on every slide. If you wish to keep this as a template...say
it's your company logo close slide master on the toolbar go to file Save As:
in the bottom text box under File type click the down arrow find templates
and name it as you wish. A template will be created that always has that
picture on it. You can also change font size, style, color, backgrounds, and
bullets on the Slide Master. Just be careful not to save it as Normal or
Blank as that will overwrite the original blank slide background that you
normally start with.

I would go to your slide master (View--> Master--> Slide) and add a text box
with your preferred text. That box will show on any slide that uses that
master.

Yea, I tried adding a text box and the text ends up in the background
"behind" the photo. I cannot figure out how to superimpose the text on top
of the photo, short of pasting and dragging the text individually onto each
slide.

thought that was what was going on (see my reply to your other post).
Unfortunately, master slide elements are always behind slide elements. What
if you made your picture slightly transparent? Would the text show through
enough to do what you want?
