MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / March 2005how do you transpose images over existing images?
I have a map of the us and want to push a button so a region of the us shades in, then a push and another region shades in, and so on etc What version of PowerPoint are you using? It makes a difference. Is your image a single bitmap? Do you have shapes that can be used to overlay the regions?

I do hope you got the authors permission to do this. TAJ they're maps. last time i checked you can get maps of the US just about anywhere, in fact i can probably draw one myself. Why would i have to ask permission for generic information? isn't this the internet? > > to copy the maps from a webpage and then saved them as jpeg files. > I do hope you got the authors permission to do this. > > TAJ Hi Steve, I know that images on the internet seems like they are there for the picking, but the reality of it is that all works (written or drawn)are the property of their creator from the moment they are created. Unless the owner of the image has given their permission, you are not allowed to use their work. Taj is just trying to keep you out of trouble with the copyright laws. If you want more information on what can and can not be used, check out: http://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ1.html If you are not in the US, then there are probably similar laws that apply in your country.

Why would i have to ask [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] >> >> TAJ It depends on how picky you are. If all you want to do is overlay a rectangle that is roughly the size of the region, you could give it a transparent fill and animate it to appear when you click in that area. If you want, for example, to highlight the region of California, Nevada and Arizona, not so easy. I would probably take the map into Photoshop and extract a second image of just those three states and recolor them and then insert that image and animate it as above. Alternatively you could download a map such as the one at http://msauer.mvps.org/graphics.htm, ungroup it and carefully select one state at a time and drag them off so that you can work with them separately. Recolor as you wish and then use them to overlay a copy of the same graphic that hasn't been ungrouped. Then animate them to "appear" on a mouse click. > Im using 2003, i used SnagIt to copy the maps from a webpage and then saved > them as jpeg files. and i don't have shapes.

It's on the Draw tool bar. >I found the map, how do i ungroup it? > [quoted text clipped - 29 lines] >> >> >shades >> >> > in, then a push and another region shades in, and so on etc Do a right click on the map. Select Grouping...Ungroup. A dialog box may pop up saying something like: This is an imported picture, not a group. Do you want to convert it to a drawing object? Say yes and then right click...grouping...ungroup again and it will be ungrouped. Hope that helped.

Instead, click on Save and save it to your hard drive somewhere. Then open PowerPoint and insert the image from where you save it, select it and ungroup it. > it downloads into windows pictures and faxes program...then i right click and > i dont see a select grouping thing. from the msauer website, how do i [quoted text clipped - 50 lines] >> > > >> >shades >> > > >> > in, then a push and another region shades in, and so on etc Hmmm... I tried it and when you click to download from the website, it is a zip file. You must unzip it and then it will be in a form you can use in PowerPoint. Put the 'unzipped' file in PowerPoint and then ungroup as I described. > it downloads into windows pictures and faxes program...then i right click and > i dont see a select grouping thing. from the msauer website, how do i [quoted text clipped - 37 lines] > > > > >> >shades > > > > >> > in, then a push and another region shades in, and so on etc got to work thanks for the help! > Hmmm...
