Help with power point

I'm trying to make something for my sister's wedding. I want to put her and her fiance's name in the background (faded) of a wish bowl poem.

I can't figure out how to get the text to be kinda faded...

sort of like this:

try right clicking on it - i think it's something to do near grouping (can't get powerpoint up on my computer for some reason---- I"ll keep trying.)

Do you have photoshop? I would just make two layers and then decrease the opacity of the background layer.

If it's an image, try:
right click --> format picture --> then click on "washout" in the picture tab.

If it's not a picture, right click --> format --> then change the transparency in the colors and lines tab.

Ok- I think I figured it out- I saved each word as a picture, then inserted them into the pp document and washed them out.

I thought there was a way to washout text.

Thanks for the tips!

Instead of washing out the text, try changing the color a few points darker or lighter than the background.
