Glen Millar, of Glen Millar Communications, introduced this animation/graphics technique at the PowerPoint Live conference. He called it the False Background. It isn't really a false background, but uses the technique of giving an AutoShape (shape, in 2007) the same background as the slide. You can then animate the AutoShape/shape, or layer it, for some stunning results. Follow these steps to set up this technique:
1. Start with a blank layout on an empty slide.
2. To specify a background image, right-click the slide and choose Background. (In PowerPoint 2007, choose Format Background.)
3. Click the drop-down arrow and choose Fill Effect. Click the Picture tab. (In 2007, click the Picture or Texture Fill option.)
4. Click Select Picture, and specify an image for the background. (In 2007, click the File button to specify an image.)
5. Click Apply. (In 2007, click Close.)
6. On the Drawing toolbar, click AutoShapes and insert one of the AutoShapes. (In 2007, click the Insert tab, click Shapes, and insert one of the shapes.)
7. Right-click the AutoShape (shape, in 2007), and choose Format AutoShape (Format Shape in 2007).
8. In the Line section, click the Color drop-down list and choose No Line, to remove the outline. (In 2007, click the Line Color item on the left, and choose No Line.)
9. In the Fill section, click the Color drop-down list and choose Background. (In 2007, click the Fill item on the cleft and choose Slide Background Fill.) This sets the fill of the AutoShape (shape) to the background of the slide. This is the very essence of this technique.
10. Click OK. (In 2007, click Close.) The AutoShape all but disappears, except that it's still selected, so that you can see the handles. Look at the lower-left side of the left slide below for the handles. (In 2007, shown on the right, the shape is clearer, because you also see a bounding box.)
Now, you need to animate the AutoShape (shape) to create the result that you want. Or you can layer it without animation. Here are some ideas. You can probably come up with others.
