title: In PowerPoint 2010/2013, how to keep watermark always on top using VBA
body: <p>I am using a small VBA program to apply some text in the background. I am able to apply watermark but if I use any image in the presentation then the watermark goes behind that image. Is there any way to keep the watermark always in front.
  I am using this code to apply watermark :</p>
  
  <pre><code>Dim cntDesigns As Integer
  cntDesigns = ActivePresentation.Designs.Count
  
  For iter = 1 To cntDesigns
      Dim curDesign As Design
      Set curDesign = ActivePresentation.Designs.Item(iter)
  
      ' EnumerateMasters
      Dim masterCount As Integer  
      masterCount = 1
      Dim masters(100) As Master
      Set masters(masterCount) = curDesign.SlideMaster
  
      Dim cntLayouts As Integer
      cntLayouts = curDesign.SlideMaster.CustomLayouts.Count
      For Layout = 1 To cntLayouts
          Dim curLayout As CustomLayout
          Set curLayout = curDesign.SlideMaster.CustomLayouts(Layout)
  
          If curLayout.DisplayMasterShapes = msoFalse Then
              masterCount = masterCount + 1
              Set masters(masterCount) = curLayout
          End If
      Next Layout
  
      For masterIter = 1 To masterCount
           Dim shape As shape
          Set shape = masters(masterIter).Shapes.AddTextbox(msoTextOrientationHorizontal, 0#, 0#, 100#, 100#)
          shape.TextEffect.Text = "Watermark"
          shape.Height = 100
          shape.Width = 100
          shape.TextFrame2.WordWrap = msoTrue
          shape.TextFrame2.WarpFormat = msoWarpFormat1
          shape.Left = 100
          shape.Top = 200
  
      Next masterIter
  Next iter
