Hello jfa, Sorry I did not explain, on each slide I have 1 or 2 words, because of the different backgroungs on the slides, ie blue sky, dark sky or in a room, I would like to use different colours on some slides, possibly only 2 or 3, and again because of the background ie somebodies head, I want to put them in different positions on the slide, top left, centre etc. Many thanks for answering my query. ashb.
