Re: changing text with images in frames

You can achieve this by inserting a table with one row and two 
columns and changing the content of the second column with the 
\onlySlide command. Here is an example, where the graphics embedding 
is done using the psfig package:

\overlays{2}{%
    \begin{slide}{Slide's title}
       \begin{tabular}{p{3cm}@{}p{3cm}}
          Some text. &
          \onlySlide*{1}{Another text.}%
          \onlySlide*{2}{\psfig{file=aPicture.eps,width=3cm}} \\
       \end{tabular}
    \end{slide}
}

(NB: I did not compile this.)

If you need some control over the vertical alignment of the picture, 
embed the "\psfig{...}" into a "\vbox to HEIGHT{...}" (the height 
being the distance between the picture's top and the reference point, 
not the bottom). This is not even LaTeX, this is plain Tex ;-]

The @{} directive in the table's heading puts the column separation 
equal to zero to give you more control over the layout (the @{...} 
construction is very useful in LaTeX table building in general). The 
p{WIDTH} directives put paragraphs of prescribed WIDTH into the cells 
of the table.

This recipe of using tables in Prosper is just the same as in Web 
page formatting, and I guess it dates back to using modular frames in 
offline typographic design since 1920s or earlier.

Pozdrowienia,
Andrei
