Microsoft Powerpoint

I haven't used this thing for YEARS and now I have to use it.

Is there a way to make my text wrap around an image?

I was told I might be able to do it by inserting the picture IN the textbox but I have no clue how to do that.

Halp plz.

Um... Don't take my word, but I don't think Power Point, in all it's Windows '98 glory, is that 1337. Lemme guess, you can do that in Photoshop? xD

If it's there... Check in some effects or animations tab.

Oh poo. Yeah.. I was told you can't do it in powerpoint either but I still had some random hope that there's a way to do it.

Hmm I guess I could do it in photoshop. But I wonder if the text would appear blurry if I copy and paste it into power point??

So dumb.. why submit it in powerpoint format... would be better if we can submit it in PDF =_________________=

Well... Powerpoint can make craptastic shiny transitions, if you present it like that...

Ppwerpoiny is just the easy-to-use, dumbed down slideshow maker thing. A lot less work to use PP that Photoshop/Reader. Not to mention how many fewer people own CS 2/3.

don't think PowerPoint has the text-wrapping capabilities of MS Word. I think you have to do it in Word first, then insert it into PowerPoint.

How do you do that?

Never really tried it but first insert the image you want. Right-click on the image and set it to "display image toolbar" (something like that) A toolbar will pop-up.

On the right side of the tool-bar is a "Text Wrapping" option. Never went any further than that and not sure if it works.

Hm I could do it in Word but I just couldn't "transfer" it to Ppwerpoiny.

Oh well. I'll do something else.
