Powerpoint 2000

Please tell me how to Wrap the Text around a Picture. For some reason my BRAIN STOPPED.
Thanks. :confused:

Hello. I'm currently using Word 2003, but it may be able to provide some insight for you to locate the text wrapping tool. I prefer the short-cut menu: Right-click on your photo/art, then click left-click "Show Picture Toolbar," from the drop-down, short cut menu. Now left-click on the "text wrap" icon, which is the fourth icon from the right side of the picture toolbar. A drop-down menu will offer various types of text wrapping. I suggest you left click on "through" as this feature provides the more commonly used tools, i.e., proportioning, cropping, and other sizing options. The standard procedure includes left-clicking on the "Format" on the Menu Toolbar, then left-click the "Picture" selection on the drop-down menu. When the "Format Picture" dialog box opens, left-click on the "layout" tab will open a selection of various text wrapping options, including an advanced selection. Again, I suggest selecting "through" which I commonly use, but here you must select the option for your desired result. I hope this information helps.

Thank you so much for your reply Raymond.

Unfortunately I have no "text wrap" icon.
Also when I go to "Format Picture" dialog box it gives me no option of "layout".
May be Power Point 2000 is very poor compering to your version of 2003.
Help section only talks about formating inside of a text box.

Either it has no text wrapping option or I am missing something really obvios.
Thank you again.

Here's some more information that may help you, but don't give up: Select the AutoShape (AutoShapes: A group of ready-made shapes that includes basic shapes, such as rectangles and circles, plus a variety of lines and connectors, block arrows, flowchart symbols, stars and banners, and callouts.) or text box (text box: A movable, resizable container for text or graphics. Use text boxes to position several blocks of text on a page or to give text a different orientation from other text in the document.) that contains the text you want to wrap.
Double-click the selection rectangle (selection rectangle: A rectangle with sizing handles that surrounds a selected object or objects.) of the AutoShape or text box, and then click the Text Box tab. Select the Word wrap text in AutoShape check box. Also, don't you have a "help" feature in your PowerPoint software?

Yes Reymond.....it did work...Thanks very much.
As I said above Help section only talks about formating inside of a text box. I could not find anything relating to WRAPPING TEXT around an object.
To be honest it's been about 6.5 hours I have been working over this Presentation and I have a long way to go yet. Brain is not working.....
Appreciate your help.

I worked in public relations for more than 15 years, and I have some tips for your presentation. First, put yourself in the mind of one person to whom you are presenting this information (product or service). Do not put yourself in the mind of the head person to whom you must sell this idea, product, or service. It should be his or her assistant or, preferably, their subordinate employees. These are the people who are more familiar with the actual problems encountered with the product or service. Second, what are the "related benefits" that comes from using this service or product. Not the obvious, but something that is a minor (positive) benefit. Third, why is this product or service better than your competitors. You should explain similarities because they may have been "shopping," and they are comparing your product/service with another at the same time you are presenting it. So, take control of their thoughts (proactive presentation). Fourth, explain one procedure to completing the product or service, which is accomplished by one of the subordinates in your company. This describes the belief, dedication, and overall professionlism of workers providing the service or product. I generalize because I'm not familiar with your presentation. It could be an oral presentation for school, but if you provide me with the basics (just a few lines), I will put in the time to offer my experience, which includes my membership in Toastmasters International. I'll check my emails throughout today and tomorrow, and reply immediately. Good luck, and above all, let them feel your excitement about the product/service, even if it's your "nervousness" only masked!

What a wonderful briefing and what a kind person you are. More then appreciate it.
Thank you again Raymond.
