Stacking images

[Alison T]

How can I stack images? If they have transparent backgrounds, which I think looks a lot neater, I don't seem to be able to find a way to stack them without getting lots of blurry edges. any ideas?
Thanks

Hi Alison - this is just a guess, but I'm presuming you want to stack the images so that only the top one is visible? It's a bit longer process, but how about ... placing your first image on the flipchart, then go to shapes and select a rectangle - either the same or a different colour to your background and re-size it so that it will cover your image. Place a second image on top of the rectangle. Place a second rectangle on top of the second image, etc etc. As you want to reveal each image, drag the no longer wanted rectangle into the bin. The ones yet to be revealed will still be hidden by rectangles and you will have moved the revealed images elsewhere on the board.If you want your images transparent - and I agree, they do look better, then unless you do something like this, you will inevitably have ragged edges.
Hope this helps

This worked for me, hopefully it will work for you too!

Get a single image and (in design mode) right click and copy. Then right click in a space and press paste. Press as many times as you need (if I need a stack I just hold down ctrl 'v' for a while). Once done, select over the image and move them all as a stack. They're all perfectly in line and clear! +wave+
