Hi Wilmari...

I found the solution that Nancy Woinoski provided many years ago to work well for me:

...if you really want to item to sit on top of the content, you can add a layer to your slide master and place the logo or whatever on the layer. Then on the slide master page (not the layer ) add a trigger that says show layer when the timeline starts.

Any object that you have on the layer will appear on top of the content on your slides.

    Thank you Marge
    I was able to do that, but there are a few slides in the scene that does not accept this trigger and the item on the top layer in slide master is hidden.

    The logo, for example, will show on slide 1 and 2, be missing on slide 3 and then appear on slide 4 again.

    Do you know of anything that might cause this?
