We’re now ready to make our background. The yellow part is now gone and the mask has a cut-out in the shape of the text, which you can see if I drag the text off the slide. Now that we have our mask picture pasted, we go to Format, Color, and Set Transparent Color.Īnd we click anywhere on the yellow text fill with the wand – and there you go! Let’s cut the mask (CTRL + X on a PC) and when we paste, paste as a picture by right clicking, going to Paste, and choosing the picture option.Īlternatively (and especially if you have an earlier version of PowerPoint), you can paste as a picture by going to the Home tab, then choosing Paste on the left, hitting Paste Special, and choosing one of the picture formats from the list, as shown in the graphic below. Ok now we have our mask built, and we’ve come to the fun part. So still under the Format Shape menu, we go to Shape Options, then Fill on the very left, make it a solid black fill, and choose “no line” for the outline. Now to hide the rectangle, let’s make the shape fill (the blue color) the same as our background (black), and take out the rectangle shape outline. Therefore, by making the fill close to the outline color, we’ll make this edge barely noticeable, so let’s change the dark blue to a yellow text fill – still under the text fill menu. This is because when you cut out the text fill (which we’ll do in a little bit), small bits of the fill color will still remain at the edge – see below what I mean when the dark blue text fill is used. Now the text fill will be cut out for our mask, so while I made it dark here, I recommend that you make that color close to the text outline color, so much lighter. I’ve also temporarily made the text fill darker so you can see the outline better. I’ll go ahead and add one as a demonstration by right clicking the text, then going to Format Text Effects, then under Text Options, going to Text Fill on the left and scrolling down and making the text outline solid, white, at 3 points in width to make it nice and visible. Ok now we can either add an outline to the letters or not. Make sure you use a nice, fat, bold font for best results – I’ll use Arial Black in this case. Now we need to add the text that will be cut out, so I’ll just write the word TEXT here as an example. The result should look like rectangle with 3 stripes in the figure to the right below. I’ll keep it simple and start with a rectangle, so I’ll go to Insert -> Shapes, choose the rectangle, then draw it across the slide. With that general framework down, here is how to do it.įirst make a shape with the text that you want to put in.
