Hi I have a powerpoint presentation that uses a template with some images.  I  
  
want to remove this image for only 2 of the slides but when I go to master  
  
view and remove the images it takes them off all of the slides.  Just  
  
wondering if there is an easy way to accomplish this?  
  
thanks.

There is a couple of ways you can do this On the slides you want to cover up  
  
the picture just put an autoshape over the whole slide, then put everything  
  
else on top of that autoshape on that slide. Or, you can got into your Slide  
  
Master and add the background image to the Slide Master and not the Title  
  
Master then when ever you want a slide without a background image, just  
  
insert a new title master. If you ue the later method, don't forget to save  
  
your template as a template file (.pot) so that you can use it in the  
  
future.

How about the "omit master background graphics" function in the Background  
  
menu?  
  
This omits the master graphics only from the selected slide. It looks like a  
  
simpler and neater approach.  
  
1) It takes fewer actions to accomplish  
  
2) It reduces the number of items on the slide  
  
3) It is easy to reverse.
