Adding pictures to your PowerPoint presentation can make it more visually appealing. However, when you first add a new image, it covers up whatever else is on the slide, including text. Here’s how to move pictures and other objects backward and forward to create the layering you want.
Sending an Image Behind Text
If you haven’t already, go ahead and open the PowerPoint presentation you’ll be working with and hop over to the slide with the text and image.
We’ll go over layering images in a bit, but right now we will just be working with a single image and some text.
As you can see in the image above, The Geek image is covering the “How-To Geek” text. To put the image behind the text, first, click the image to select it and then go to the “Format” tab.
Over at the “Arrange” section, click the “Send Backward” button. A drop-down menu will appear with two options.
