With your mouse over the picture, right click and select "Format Picture." Then click the "Layout" file and select "Behind Text."

Good luck! :)
Place it on the slide master.

Alternatively place it in a text box then right-click on the border of the text box and move it behind your actual text.
you have to put the picture in the typing box
check it out on.... www.myspace.com/milsblackskulls v=its all there
use the text box, and oh by the way, please answer some of my questions too ;)
I think it would work if you put the picture in first and then inserted a text box over the picture. You may have to bring the text box to the front or send the picture backwards so you can see the writing......depends on your default settings.
