Send Image To Back

[EdenC]

I was wondering how I could send an image (activex control from the developer tab) to the back. I need a rectangle to go to above it so as to animate out so as to make it seem as the image is animating in as it can't be animated itself.

Thanks!

You can't - ActivX controls will ALWAYS be in the front. Is there a special reason to use an activx image box?

Well thats annoying.

I'm using it so that when its clicked the powerpoint document is closed. Are there any alternatives (I don't mind using text instead).

Thanks,
Eden

Sorry I don't get it. There's no need to use an activex object to do that (or even vba)

Unless I'm not making myself clear then I'm very surprised!

To Recap:
- I have an image (though it can be text)
- I want the user to click on this image when they want to close the powerpoint document
- I am using NoEscape addon which means the ESC button will not work

If theres an easier way then please tell me!

You don't say which version you use (which always helps) but you can give any shape / image an action of end show OR make it run a macro. In 2007 /10 INSERT Tab >> Action in 2003 I think it's in the slide show menu (from memory)

OK, that works! Forgot about the action thing. Also, I really do need to put my version in my posts!
