I am trying to make flyers for selling things at the relay for life and for
our church. I wanted to have the ribbon back ground with diffrent colors of
ribbons for the diffrent kinds of cancers then the rest of the information
typed in on the forfront of the ribbons. Can anyone tell me where I can find
a template that has these ribbons on them or where I can generate maybe one
onto a page and make many?

Hi

There are ribbons you can download for free here:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/clipart/results.aspx?qu=ribbon&sc=21

You can recolour the ribbon once it's in powerpoint by right clicking it ->
format picture -> picture tab -> recolour. I would use the colour choice as
the way to make it appear like a watermark to keep things simple.

If you want more than one page with the same colour on, add the picture to
the master (view -> master -> slide master) and use multiple masters but it
doesn't sound like you want that - to me it seems you want one page with
easch colour so let's not complicate things :-)

If any of that isn't clear post back and include your version of powerpoint

Thank you aneasiertomorrow, but I am still having problems chainging the text
in the ribbon. The ribbon I like the best is the troop ribbon. I would like
to be able to change the text and color of the ribbon after I have applied it
to something. Is it easier to do this on Word?

You aren't going to be able to edit the text as it is part of the image. I've
had a play and you can ungroup it twice, remove the individual letters, add
your own text box & rotate, re-colour autoshapes one-by-one, copy the whole
thing and amend as many times as you need... All a bit of an effort. The
problem lies in the re-colouring option going once you have ungrouped even if
you re-group as you have changed the nature of it.

Alternatively, select a different ribbon with no text and add your own in a
text box - you can rotate it using the green blob at the top of the text box
(holding alt as you rotate gives you more control).

Let me know how you get on :-)
