Hi everyone,

I'm desperately trying to figure out whether it's possible to have a static visual display in front of multiple animated slides.
I found a trick for a video using the master frame but not for images/shapes.

See attached screenshot.
I need to create a simple presentation introducing a bunch of people (1 per slide and each slide sliding from right to left)
I have a left side bar (slide 1) that I'd like to keep static while all the other slides play behind it.

Is this possible? and how?

Thanks

Excel Facts

When they said...
When they said you are going to "Excel at life", they meant you "will be doing Excel your whole life".
I've long since learnt that it's never a good idea to say that something is impossible, because invariably someone will come along and promptly prove you wrong. That said, if it is indeed possible, it certainly isn't standard. If I understand you correctly, you want the left-side banner to remain still whilst the slides move beneath it - which sounds as though it's something separate from the slides altogether - like an overlay. As far as I'm aware, Powerpoint doesn't conceive of any such overlay but I might be wrong. One possible workaround is that you could have all the people photos on the one slide (but hidden), and then use the animation feature (specifically the Lines motion path as below) to move each of the pictures into and out of the frame to appear as though you were moving through the slides, if that makes sense.

Just an idea.

What's on the slides that's moving? You could possibly use a swipe transition instead of sliding the slides. Then it would only look like part of it was stationary.

Alternatively, move the people on to the slide (one slide for all the people) as suggested above.
