That's OK Joe. There are, I'm sure, things that men think women absolutely do not get. I can't imagine what those things might be, however. :D

Can someone explain how to obtain this effect? I have been trying to play around with it but can't seem to re-create it correctly
Thx

Todd,

Insert a blank slide
Choose "Captions" and enter a lower case "g"
Choose Webdings as your font and a white square shows up in the center of the frame
Click on the white square to resize it just as you would with any image
Enter a check mark in "Use texture as caption"
Click on the image button and browse to select your image that will be inserted into the white square
Use the skew and rotate options to create perspective

That's it.

Apparently the Webdings and Wingdings fonts use shapes instead of letters that can be filled with images or gradients.

If you cycle through all the keyboard characters you will see the myriad of shapes that can be filled with this approach. Lower case and upper case yield different results.

This is an offshoot on the RozReg effect that was used with "Digital Roses". That effect does not place the image into a pre-determined shape and can, therefore, utilize vertical images or full-frame horizontals.

Webdings "g" is square and you cannot change that.
