You landed in the Mac group, so you might want to ask your question in the
Windows group (microsoft.public.powerpoint). In 2003, there is no way to
put the text on top; videos always show on top. I believe, but I am not
sure, that this has been changed in 2007 (I've only had a few minutes to
play with 2007).
