Getting my guide Glenda to stay in her bubble where she belongs.

Hi Betsy,

You can actually use PowerPoint to make 'hole' in your white square and then bring it into Storyline, that way Glenda can be behind the square and appear to be in the circle.

This screener will help, but you may need to add the commands 'Shape Intersect' and 'Shape Subtract' to your 'home' ribbon.

Hi Betsy! James' idea is a good one. Another approach would be to save the character out as a separate png file, and then use that png as the fill for your circle. Here's how you could do that:

Thanks all for your suggestions.  I'd been on the fence around upgrading to PowerPoint 2010, but after seeing your demo James, I'll be making that purchase.

Thanks too Jeanette for reminding me of picture fill, that's a simple solution that really looks good.

No worries Betsy,

I actually got that link for the screener from a webinar by Tom Kuhlmann - which has since been added here. http://bit.ly/more-ppt

I think it is relevant to PowerPoint 2007 and 2010... I think.

If you do decide to upgrade to PowerPoint 2010 be aware that there are some glitches as 2007 and 2010 aren't entirely compatible when editing 2007 presentations in 2010. Particularly when it comes to hyperlinks, linking within the presentation or out of it. Although now I am using Storyline and not Studio I pretty much only use PowerPoint as an image editor.
