PPT 2007 Master - How to keep logo on top?

[RedStep]

I'm trying to design a master template to be used for all our presentations.
I have our logo in the bottom-left corner of the master slide. The problem
is that it is easily covered by any text or images that are thrown onto a
slide. Is there a way to make the image a permanent part of the slide, but
on top of any other elements? The only way I can find is to manually add it
to each slide after other elements are added. That's obviously not
efficient. Thanks!

There's no way to keep a master image in front. (A "keep in front command"
is actually a nice idea!)

You could easily write a macro to automate adding the logo to all slides
though. Pretty sure there are examples on www.pptfaq.com

Why do you need your logo on every slide? Top presentation writers discourage
this practice.

Why do you need your logo on every slide? Top presentation writers
discourage this practice.

Why do you top-post, which is a practice all newsgroup experts have
discouraged and explained not to work, immediately after the Usenet news
system was created decades ago? It is a very efficient way to make
discussion threads unreadable very rapidly.

Why do you question the design practice that just about all organizations
in the world apply? Presentations in the real world are not just about
information ergonomics. And those who implement presentations are not those
who make the rules.

I shoud have said:

I totally agree with Rae, if the audience need to see a logo to know who
they work for / who they are listening to - then you're doing something wrong!

You're both right - it's a bad practice in general... I also don't have any
say in it.

We are one affiliate of many, and we've had our work stolen before. It's
not the full logo, just a "tag" in the corner. Yes, an intelligent person
could easily remove it; luckily, we're not dealing with those (mostly).

Thank you for your help - I'll look into the macros. It may be that I just
deal with people putting their misshapen clip art in front of it.
