The shape combine function in PowerPoint 2010 is great. Here is an example of how you can create text that seems to be flying through a circle. The key is the create 2 half circles and send one of them to the back. In earlier version of PowerPoint, this was very hard to do. (See a review of PowerPoint 2010 here).
|
|
| Center them horizontally and vertically |
|
|
| Select the shapes, (inner last), shape subtract |
|
|
| Same trick: select them both and do shape subtract |
|
|
| Copy and flip the half moon |
|
|
| Send the right half moon to the back and put some text |

This is a great tip!
But did you know that both ring and half-ring shapes exist out-of-the-box in PPT? ;-)
(They are called respectively donut and block arc in PPT 2007)
