In retrospect I should have made the window a little less opaque, but you live and learn! This effect takes advantage of the command in PowerPoint that allows you to choose a color in a picture to be transparent. You also need to use Opazity in 'clear image' mode.

I have included details of how to do this effect in a PPT2003 file for you to download. You can also use the window image in the download for your own presentations. Click here for the download.

An alternative using this technique could be a car window that slides down, a pair of binoculars that come into focus, or a keyhole.
