Hi all,
I will have a presentation on a topic which is about a revolutionary idea
that looks to the future. Of course there are many obscurities about it. As a
background for my slides, I thought a road with no clear end, with perhaps
some clouds over it might be ideal to induce the status of the concept. Do
any one have any idea where I can find such a background picture (certainly I
need some which text can be put on and be easily read)?
Cheers!

On Microsoft's Office ClipArt website do a Search for "road", search photos
only: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/clipart/results.aspx?qu=road&sc=22#0

Choose the one closest to your idea.  Insert it as a background to your
slide master. Adjust brightness an color, if necessary. Add a
semi-transparent rectangle behind the text box. Switch to Normal View again
and save it as a template. Open a new file based on this template and start
creating your presentation.

Best regards,
Ute

Thanks for your idea and help. Unfortunately I didn't find an image
describing my idea. Those images besides the images in google are usually
very much crowded that distracts the audience as if I intend to show them a
landscape. Anyway thank you again for your help.

I've asked my designers to create some road templates -- look tomorrow on
Indezine for templates with a road theme.

Thanks. That's very kind of you, indeed. But how can I find them in your
website. There is a latest template update there, but I didn't see those
templates after several revisit to Indezine. I think I can't find them
through search as they should have not been indexed yet by google.

Omid, the templates will be uploaded in the morning (that will probably be
late night your time if you are in west coast USA).

The designers had a huge upload of 60 template designs today -- the last
template now is:

http://www.indezine.com/powerpoint/freetemplate/1672.html

Once we upload the Road templates (we made 10 of them), the Next link on the
page above will be active.

Although I preferred some simpler templates probably one with an imaginary
road rather than a real obtrusive image of a road, I should appreciate your
work. Thanks for your help.
