Default Adding tiled text as watermark in power point

Hi,
I have seen people using tiled embossed text in the background of a
powerpoint slide. The text may be a diagonal repeatition of a word. For
instance, if I want to add USA as the background, the it should look like:

USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA
USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA
USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA
USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA
USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA

which should be in the background and rotated so that text remains parallel
to diagonal. I know how to emboss text, but couldnt figure out how to put
tiling in the background.
Thanks
Zim

Zim,
Go to View - master - slide master. Make a textbox and type your text, apply
any formatting you want, drag with the green circle above your textbox which
allows you to rotate at will. Leave the slidemaster. Your text should now be
in the background.

Zim,
Sorry missed the tile part. When you are finished making the textbox,
rightclick it and save it. Now go to the master and do this:
View - Master - Slide master - Format - Background - Fill Effects - select
tab texture - choose Other Texture locate your image - Insert - Ok - Apply
to all.
Does that help ?

Just to fill in a wee part that's fairly important here --

I think Luc means to rightclick it and save it *as a picture.*
