Step 1: Create the Text
Open PowerPoint and create a new textbox By going to the insert tab, look for shapes and select the icon with “Text Box” title
Step 2: Prepare Text box
Create the text box and type in your text, ncrease the font size, and change the font to a font that will be bold enough for legibility, after you are done, you have something like the below picture
Step 3: Convert the Text Characters to shape
In as much that the textbox itself is a shape, the characters are not in shape form, therefore, you cannot apply some attribute to it. It is until you change them. Draw a square shape over the text area, send the square shape backward until it is behind the text. It should look like the picture below
Step 4: Merge the Shapes
Highlight the two element, goto format tab, select Merge shapes and click on intersect. This should give you something similar to the below image
Step 5: Change background to Image
